The Social Security Administration (SSA) has announced a new Social Security payment worth around $2,000 for 64-year-old retired workers in the United States. Receiving a Social Security check each month is contingent upon many things. The money must be approved first, but we should also remember that if we are in group 2 of pensioners, we might receive it before Valentine’s Day.
As a result, we will receive our benefit from Social Security a few days before this celebration, allowing us to have the funds on hand in case we want to do something special. Of course, we will not be allowed to be a part of Group 2 if we do not meet all the requirements, so we must carefully review the restrictions.
Social Security will pay $2,000 to eligible retirees in the country
We must remember that everyone in the United States, regardless of their group, is eligible to get money throughout the month if they have been accepted into the program. The day on which they get each payment can only be changed by the year of retirement and the day of their birthday. And to receive the payment for the following day, you must remember those two conditions. The new pay date is February 12th, which is before Valentine’s Day. The prerequisites will be:
- Retirees should have birth dates between the 1st and 10th of any month.
- Have previously applied for monthly paychecks after May 1997.
It is required to have a birthday within those days; however, the exact year of birth is irrelevant. In the same way, the month of birth is irrelevant. Disability retirees and 65-year-old retirees who meet these requirements will be in group 2 and will be paid before Valentine’s Day because of just those two factors.
How much money will 64-year-old retirees receive in the next Social Security check?
March 2025 Social Security benefits will be identical to January 2025 benefits. Last month, this year’s cost of living adjustment (COLA) went into effect. Consequently, the total amount of checks received in 2025 will be equal to the payment received in January of this year. The February 2025 payment will, of course, be larger than the February 2024 payment. This is because the COLA for this year has already been implemented, as we previously stated, so the benefit this year will be marginally greater than it was in February of last year.
Remind yourself that every retiree has their check and that joining a group of retirees does not depend on the benefit. Following the payment on February 12th, the Social Security Administration will make two further payments before the month is complete, but these will be for pensioners in groups 3 and 4. In the upcoming weeks, you might benefit if you belong to one of these groups. Also, bear in mind that if your Social Security check doesn’t arrive on the scheduled date, you may need to wait at least three mailing days before contacting the SSA customer service, or you can access your My Social Security Account to review your payment information and download financial statements, among other things.
The Social Security payment schedule was confirmed for February 2025
Understanding the Impact of Trump’s Social Security Tax Proposal
As the SSA has to deliver millions of payments for retirees, survivors, disabled people, and recipients of the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program, the federal agency designed a monthly payment schedule so all beneficiaries can be aware of the payment dates. Based on this schedule, these are the confirmed payment dates for the rest of the month:
- February 12th (2nd Wednesday): Payments will reach retirees, disabled individuals, and survivors who were born between the 1st and the 10th
- February 19th (3rd Wednesday): Payments will reach retirees, disabled individuals, and survivors who were born between the 11th and the 20th
- February 26th (4th Wednesday): Payments will reach retirees, disabled individuals, and survivors who were born between the 21st and the 31st
- February 28th (Advanced payment): As the first of March falls on a weekend, SSI recipients will receive their benefits in advance.
