On April 9, 2025, thousands of citizens across the United States will receive their new retirement check, with amounts that could be higher than the previous year.

If you already have a retirement benefit accepted, it is important to review the requirements to ensure that you receive this payment in your bank account

Additionally, the way you choose to receive your payment can affect when you receive it: if you opt for the direct deposit method, you could receive it the same day it is sent, while other methods could delay the arrival of the money.

Retirees who belong to Group 2 will receive their payment on April 9. To be part of this group, it is necessary to meet two specific requirements.

• Have a benefit approved after May 1997;
• Have a birthday between the 1st and 10th of any month.

If you meet both requirements, you will receive the benefit without any problems on April 9.

This includes retirees with disabilities, retirees by age, spouses and other beneficiaries within this group.

What if I’m not in Group 2?

If you are not part of Group 2, don’t worry, payments will continue to be made on other dates in April, specifically on April 16 and 23.

These payments are distributed according to the beneficiaries’ Social Security numbers, so even if you do not receive the payment on April 9, you may still receive it in the following weeks

It is important to be informed about the payment dates of the Social Security Administration (SSA) in order to plan your finances properly.

Faster payment method

While it is not mandatory to choose the direct deposit method, having it enabled will allow you to receive your retirement check immediately.

This way, the money will be deposited directly into your bank account without you having to wait. If you have not activated this method, your payment may take a little longer to arrive, depending on the collection method you choose.

It is advisable to activate it in order to receive the benefit more quickly and conveniently.

Knowing when you will receive your payment is essential to organize yourself financially. If you are part of Group 2 and have direct deposit activated, you will receive your retirement check on April 12, which will allow you to organize your expenses without any inconvenience

If you do not receive payment on that date, remember that you can still count on the money later in the month. Keep an eye on these dates to avoid surprises and ensure that your household finances are in order.

It is important to review your situation and be informed about Social Security payment dates to avoid unnecessary delays.

If you have any questions or problems with your payment, you can always contact SSA to resolve it.
