August is about to end and this means that the United States Social Security payment schedule will also end soon. But this means that a new month begins and, therefore, that a new retirement payment will arrive in the next few weeks.
Social Security check payments for next month will arrive as usual and with no surprises. However, it is true that the payments for this benefit this month do change a bit from other months. There is a bit of irregularity in the timing of the payments.
September Social Security Calendar
One of the peculiarities of September 2024 is that United States citizens will have one less payment from the Social Security Administration. This is because there is an irregularity in the timing of the payments. Therefore, the September Supplemental Security Income check is mailed on the August 30th, so it will appear early.
Thus, the September payment days for Social Security retirees are:
- September 3rd. Social Security payment for pre-May 1997 retirees.
- September 11th. Social Security payment for retirees after May 1997. It is also necessary to have a birthday between the 1st and 10th of the month.
- September 18th. Social Security payment for retirees after May 1997. Birthdays between the 11th and 20th of the month are also required.
- September 25th. Social Security payment for retirees after May 1997. It is also necessary to have a birthday between the 21st and 31st of the month.
Now you can know exactly when you will get your Social Security money in September. Remember that if you do not have Direct Deposit, it will take a few days for the money to appear in your checking account.
Maximum Social Security payment in September
The maximum Social Security payment in September will be the same as in all other months of 2024. The truth is that since the government added the COLA to the payments at the beginning of the year we have not seen an increase in benefits again.
However, it is good to know what the maximum payment is by benefit type category to know if our check is close to that payment or not. Depending on the type of Social Security, we may have the following maximum payments:
- Disability: $3,822 per month.
- Full Retirement Age: $3,822 per month.
- Early Retirement Age: $2,710 per month.
- Retiring at 70: $4,873 per month.
Each citizen has a different payment, so it is not normal to have the maximum payment, but quite the opposite. It is very uncommon to see a citizen get the maximum check from Social Security, but it is not impossible.
Be that as it may, we will get our payment in September without having to wait a day longer than the one marked on the calendar. So be sure to check the requirements for each day’s payments and note at what time of the month you will have access to your benefit.
