The August mailing days for United States Social Security check payments are drawing to a close. Each month, Social Security benefits are distributed on different days, depending on the retiree’s group. As we approach the end of August, it’s important to note that the final payment for the month will soon be sent out.

The Last Social Security Payment for August 2024
The most significant detail to note is that the majority of beneficiaries should already have received their Social Security payments for August. The final payment for the month, scheduled for August 28th, 2024, marks the last retirement payment to be sent by the Social Security Administration (SSA) this month. If you’re uncertain whether you will receive a payment on this date, it’s crucial to verify your eligibility.
August 28th Social Security Eligibility Requirements
The last of the Social Security payments for August 2024 will be issued on the 28th. If you’re expecting a check on this date, ensure that you meet the eligibility criteria. Failing to qualify may mean needing to claim a late payment. Here are the key requirements to qualify for the August 28th Social Security payment:
- Retirement Benefit Date: You must have started receiving your retirement benefits after May 1997.
- Birthday Requirement: Your birthdate must fall between the 21st and 31st of any month.
Meeting both of these conditions ensures that you will receive the final August 2024 Social Security payment. If you have Direct Deposit set up, the check may arrive on the same day as mailing. Without Direct Deposit, it could take a few days longer to reach your account.
August 2024 Social Security Extra Payment
While the August 28th payment is the last Social Security retirement payment for August 2024, there is an additional payment scheduled before the month ends. This extra check is not part of the regular retirement payment but rather a separate benefit.
The extra payment is for Supplemental Security Income (SSI). If you qualify for this benefit, the SSA will send you an additional payment on August 30th, 2024. This payment corresponds to the September payment schedule and is being issued early because September 1st falls on a weekend.
When a scheduled payment date lands on a weekend or holiday, the SSA typically sends the payment on the preceding business day, which in this case is August 30th.
