For many Americans, especially retirees, individuals with disabilities and other qualified recipients, Social Security payments are crucial as they rely on them in order to fulfill their basic needs. Payments to those beneficiaries who qualify will be dispensed this month by the Social Security Administration (SSA). These beneficiaries shall receive their payment on time according to their schedule which therefore implies that different beneficiaries will receive payment on different dates.
Who will receive Social Security payment this September
Those who will receive their payment are determined by a well-established schedule which are based on certain criteria, including the recipient’s birth date, the type of benefits they receive, and when they first began receiving these benefits.
- SSI Beneficiaries
Generally, the people receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments every month are the first among other social security beneficiaries to get their checks. These include individuals who have attained the age of 65 and above, are blind or disabled with restricted income and assets. Normally, these Payments are made by the Social Security Administration on the first day of a given month but this may change if it happens to fall on a weekend or public holiday. - Recipients with Birthdays in the Early Part of the Month
Your birthday is also considered when sending out social security payment. If you were born between the 1st and 10th of a month then your payment will be sent on the second wednesday of a month which falls on the 11th of September. Those who were born between the 21st to the 31st of a month can expect to receive their payment by the fourth Wednesday of every month. In september, this falls on the 25th of september. - Recipients Receiving Social Security Benefits for the First Time
New beneficiaries can also expect to receive their first Social Security payment this September. This is largely dependent on when your application was approved and and your eligiblilty status. But if you were considered eligible by the month of August then you can start receiving your benefits beginning in september.
