September Social Security Calendar
September 2024 comes with a unique payment schedule due to an irregularity in the timing of payments. Unlike other months, United States citizens will have one less payment from the Social Security Administration. This is because the September Supplemental Security Income (SSI) check is being mailed out on August 30th, making it appear as an early payment for September.
Here are the Social Security payment dates for retirees in September:
- September 3rd: Payment for retirees who began receiving Social Security benefits before May 1997.
- September 11th: Payment for retirees who started receiving benefits after May 1997, and whose birthdays fall between the 1st and 10th of the month.
- September 18th: Payment for retirees who started receiving benefits after May 1997, and whose birthdays fall between the 11th and 20th of the month.
- September 25th: Payment for retirees who started receiving benefits after May 1997, and whose birthdays fall between the 21st and 31st of the month.
It’s important to note that if you don’t have Direct Deposit, it might take a few days for the funds to appear in your checking account.
Maximum Social Security Payment in September
The maximum Social Security payment for September 2024 remains unchanged from previous months. Since the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) was added at the beginning of the year, there have been no further increases in benefits. However, understanding the maximum payment amounts for different benefit categories can help you gauge whether your payment is close to the maximum.
Here are the maximum Social Security payments by category:
- Disability: $3,822 per month
- Full Retirement Age: $3,822 per month
- Early Retirement Age: $2,710 per month
- Retiring at 70: $4,873 per month
It’s important to remember that each citizen’s payment is different, and it’s uncommon for individuals to receive the maximum payment. However, it is not impossible.
