The payment schedule of the United States Social Security Administration allows retirees to receive their payments on different days of the month depending on which group they belong to.
As a result, one retiree may receive payment as soon as the month begins, while another will have to wait a few more days.
And if we are in group 4 of retirees, we can receive the check on January 22nd of next year. This check can be for up to $5,180, making it an important cash injection to consider. If we are eligible for this payment, we will receive it right away if we select the quickest collection method.
Regardless, every retiree receives a monthly payment. It doesn’t matter what kind of retirement they have or which group they belong to. Simply having your Social Security check accepted is sufficient to receive your monthly payment without delay or hassle.
How to get Social Security on January 22nd?
If we want to get our Social Security payment on January 22nd we have to take into account three requirements. Two of these requirements pertain to the group of retirees and the other one is related to the chosen collection method.
Thus, we must take into account that:
- Our retirement benefit must be after May 1997.
- Our birthday must be between the 21st and 31st of any month.
- We must activate Direct Deposit as a collection method.
Only by meeting all three requirements can we get the check on January 22nd itself.
How much will we get from Social Security on January 22nd, 2025?
The payment we receive in January 2025 will determine what our Social Security check will be for the remainder of 2025. This is because the Cost of Living Adjustment increased the checks for this benefit for all recipients.
Thus, the new maximum payment for 2025 is $5,180, but this does not imply that all retirees will receive the same amount. Payments have increased by 2.5% compared to the previous year 2024. As a result, your January payment will be higher than last year.
