The Social Security Administration sends an enormous amount of benefits each month to different beneficiaries in the United States. Each of these checks is unique and has a singular amount. Therefore, we are dealing with an individual check that is not repeated, at least most of the time. At the end of the day, Social Security Administration benefits, including Supplemental Security Income, are based on each individual’s record.
And since it is very difficult for one citizen to have the same record as another, it is not uncommon for Americans to have a mismatch when it comes to Social Security Administration benefits. They may collect on the same day, yes, but they may not have the exact same payment on most occasions. But in the case of the new SSA debit card, things may change a bit.
If the Social Security Administration finally sends out the $2,000 debit cards, Americans who get it will have the same paycheck on the card until they get their next benefit. Even so, everything has limits, as is obvious, and in the case of getting it it is not a good idea to spend more than what we usually have.
Who can have the Social Security debit card?
Although there is still no certain date as to when we will get a Social Security Administration debit card with up to $2,000, we do know which groups can get one. This information could be expanded in the future, so we need to stay tuned for more information.
The groups that will be able to apply for this new Social Security Administration debit card are:
- Supplemental Security Income beneficiaries.
- VA beneficiaries.
- SSDI beneficiaries.
It is too early to determine if more groups will be able to get this payment, but it is possible that in the future more Americans will be able to use this Social Security Administration card for their regular expenses.
Social Security Schedule in August 2024
Since we do not yet know when we will get the Social Security Administration debit card, what we can do is check the payment days for the month of August. Thanks to this information we can mark on the calendar when we will have our retirement money available.
The payment days on the August calendar are:
- August 1. Supplemental Social Security payment for the month.
- August 2. Social Security Administration retirement payment for beneficiaries prior to May 1997.
- August 14. On this day, post-May 1997 retirees with a birthday between the 1st and the 10th collect their benefits.
- August 21. On this day, post-May 1997 retirees with a birthday between the 11th and 20th will collect the benefit.
- August 28. On this day, retirees with a birthday between May 21 and May 31, 1997 receive the benefit.
- August 30. Extraordinary Supplementary Social Security payment. This is due to the fact that September 1 is a holiday, so the Social Security Administration sends it earlier.
Check the information and check your bank account to see if you really have the money available.
