In the next few hours, a select group of United States citizens will receive their Social Security retirement checks. If you belong to this group, you’ll soon see the payment in your account. However, if you’re not in this group, you may have to wait until September for your next payment, or your August payment may have already been disbursed.

Who Will Receive the Social Security Payment Within Hours?
Today, August 28th, a new Social Security payment will be sent to retirees in Group 4. This group is the last to receive their retirement checks each month. To find out if you’re in this group and can expect your payment shortly, you need to meet the following requirements:
- Birthday Between the 21st and 31st of Any Month: Your birthday must fall within this date range.
- Social Security Benefits After May 1997: You must have started receiving Social Security benefits after this date.
These two criteria determine if you’re eligible for today’s payment. However, there is an additional requirement to consider.
The Importance of Direct Deposit for Quick Payments
If you have activated Direct Deposit, you’ll receive your Social Security payment on the same day it’s mailed. Therefore, today, August 28th, only those who have set up Direct Deposit will receive their payment immediately. If you haven’t activated this method, your payment will arrive in the next few days.

What If You Didn’t Receive an August Payment?
If you’re not in Group 4 and haven’t received your August payment, there may be a delay. In such cases, you may need to check your account or contact Social Security to resolve any issues.
What’s Next for Social Security Payments?
After today’s payment, the next important date on the Social Security calendar is August 30th, when the September Supplemental Security Income (SSI) will be disbursed. However, the next retirement check for another group won’t be sent until September 3rd. This means there will be a brief wait before the next round of retirement checks is issued.
If you’re in Group 4, your Social Security check should arrive soon. If not, keep an eye on the upcoming payment dates and ensure that all your information with Social Security is up to date to avoid any delays. As always, Direct Deposit is the fastest way to receive your benefits on time.
