• An expected Social Security check is coming up.
• Know the exact dates you will send the COLA check from Social Security.
• This Social Security check is worth $1,657.

You could get money sooner than you imagined. Many people will receive a Social Security check worth $1,657. However, since each person’s date of birth determines when they should anticipate their payment, not everyone will receive it at the same time.

The newspaper The Sun explained on Sunday, April 17, that Social Security payments will be released every second, third, and fourth Wednesday of each month, so if you were born toward the end of the month, you may have to wait a little longer to receive your monthly benefits.

Those with birthdays between the 1st and 10th of the month should pay their Social Security check in advance by the second Wednesday of that month. Those whose birthdays are between the 11th and the 20th of the month should wait to collect on the third Wednesday, detailed The Sun, which also mentioned that the average Social Security benefit currently amounts to $1,657 and the maximum is $4,194 per month.

The current amount of the Social Security check is due to the 5.9% increase in the cost of living adjustment (COLA) and its main beneficiaries are retired workers. The Social Security Administration (SSA, for its initials in English) regulates the COLA every year so that the purchasing power of the beneficiaries is not affected by inflation, he explained AS.

How much does the Social Security check offer to married couples?

The media AS also explained that this year, due to the increase in the COLA, the average monthly payments of retirees are 1,657 dollars for individuals, while married couples can receive up to 2,753 dollars each month. And this year the maximum benefit is $4,194 for those who retire at age 70.

And if you don’t want to check your calendar to find out the date on which Wednesday you should receive your payment, here we detail it again: April 13 for those born between 1 and 10; on April 20 for those born between 11 and 20, and on April 27 it is sent to those born between 21 and 31.

Payments in May

The Sun newspaper also previously reported that for next month the first batch will ship on May 11, the second on May 18 and the third on May 25. And so on the second, third and fourth Wednesday of each month. In addition, the COLA increase will not only impact retirement payments, as Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments will also increase by 5.9%.

The authorities reported that Supplemental Security Income (SSI) checks will be sent on the first of each month, unless it falls on a weekend or holiday. The schedule of pending payments is: April 29, June 1, July 1, August 1, September 1, September 30, November 1, December 1 and finally December 30, when they will issue the last payment of the year.
