September Social Security will issue new checks to retirees on its list

September Social Security – The Social Security system will provide a new monthly payment worth $1,900 to $4,873 to millions of retirees next week. To qualify, recipients must have met all retirement requirements and claimed benefits since May 1997. Social Security Administration determines the monthly amount each beneficiary will receive based on factors such as reaching the required age, contributing to Social Security, and collecting enough working credits. More than 70 million beneficiaries receive benefits from retirement, survivor, and disability insurance (RSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) through the SSA. 

The Social Security Administration confirms eligibility for new Social Security payments for retirees 

Next week, three payments will be mailed on the second, third, and fourth Wednesdays of each month. Beneficiaries will receive payments based on their birthdates, as shown below: 

  • Benefits will be paid to those born between September 1st and 10th on the second Wednesday (September 11th).
  • The third Wednesday (September 18th) will be the date when people born between the 11th and the 20th will receive monthly benefits.
  • On September 25th, people born between September 21st and September 31st will receive monthly benefits.

If you claim these benefits after May 1997, you will receive them on the third of every month, regardless of your birth date. In addition, if your Social Security payment does not arrive on the scheduled date, you should wait at least three mailing days before contacting the SSA’s customer service, since the delay may be due to your bank’s processing of payment rather than from the SSA. 

A different amount of Social Security benefits is sent to retirees, survivors, and disabled individuals 

According to current SSA guidelines, beneficiaries do not receive the same amount of payment every month, due to the unique circumstances and contributions they have made throughout their working careers. A beneficiary who receives retirement benefits, for example, will receive an average monthly check of $1,900, while a beneficiary who claims benefits before reaching full retirement age (FRA) can expect a check of $2,710. The maximum check for beneficiaries who delayed benefits until 70 and made contributions based on the maximum taxable earnings was $4,873, while the maximum check for beneficiaries who delayed benefits until 70 was $3,822. 

The survivor benefit program, on the other hand, provides beneficiaries with an average benefit of $1,505, but other payment amounts are also available. Individuals who meet survivor requirements are eligible for up to $1,773 per month, while families with two children can receive up to $3,653. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) recipients will receive an average of $1,537 per month in benefits. 

SSDI benefits require individuals to have contributed to Social Security before they became disabled, similar to the retirement benefit program. A disabled person can receive a maximum payment of $3,822 based on their average contributions. Those who meet federal blindness requirements can also receive $2,590 monthly checks.
