For some people in the United States, getting their monthly Social Security check is as easy as having their payment accepted. However, not all families can get their payments on the same days. When we plan our budget, it’s important to remember that everyone gets their benefit on a different day.
For those who are qualified, the Social Security Administration will send a new check on April 3, 2025. It’s true that we have to be part of a certain group in order to get this benefit on April 3rd, but just accepting the benefit meets one of the conditions.
No matter what, if our Social Security check is accepted, we will get the money in April, but it could come a few days later. It would depend on our retirement group and the way we’ve set up the collection. The payment might come soon if we use the fastest way of collection, but everything is important.
Who gets the April 3rd Social Security check?
The Administration only needs to do one thing in order to send the April 3rd check to our bank account. People in the United States who have asked for retirement benefits since before May 1997 will get this April 3rd check.
Since this group is the only one who can get the payment on that day, it can only happen in these ways. If we’re not in this group, we’ll get our payment on a different day of the month. That’s why we need to carefully study the payment plan to find out when we will get our Social Security.
In April 2025, Social Security will make other payouts
We might get more checks on the 9th, 16th, or 23rd of the month after the April 3rd payment. We need to know what group of retirees we are in order to know whether we will get the check sooner or later.
Group 2 retirees are the only ones getting paid on April 9. Group 3 retirees will get their money on April 16. People in Group 4 will get their Social Security check on the 23rd of this month.
The only way to tell if we belong to one of these groups is to look at what each one needs. All of these groups must meet two conditions. The first is that they must have a benefit that started after May 1997. After that, we can tell if we are in Group 2, 3, or 4 based on the day of our birthday.
Don’t forget that the day on the calendar shows when the Social Security Administration will send the payment, not when we will get the money. Since we need the money that same day, we will need to have Direct Deposit set up as a way to get it.
