Have you received your Social Security payment in March? Then, you will receive a new retirement benefit payment in April. Remember that you can only get one of the four checks or deposits for retirees in the United States.
It is true that some low-income Americans can get a Supplemental Security Income payment from the Federal Government too. Anyway, the next SSI payment will also be distributed in April.
Retirees on Social Security before May 1997
Those Americans on retirement benefits for more than 28 years will get their monthly payment on April 3, 2025. Therefore, they do not qualify for any of the payments left in March.
The last 3 Social Security payments will be deposited on March 12, 19, and 26. These paydays are for those who are not on SSI and who got benefits after April 30, 1997.
What is more, they must have been born on a specific date. As for the payment amount for either March or April, retirees can get an average payment worth $1,978.
Retirees on both Social Security and SSI
This is the second group of Americans who will receive a monthly payment from the Administration in April. Retirees who get Supplemental Security Income and retirement benefits simultaneously get money on:
- April 1: SSI payment for all eligible recipients
- April 3: Social Security retirement benefits
The maximum amount a retiree can get in April is $5,108. That is the largest benefit for high earners who file at the age of 70. Other high earners who file at Full Retirement Age can get up to $2,831 and $4,018 at Full Retirement Age.
To get the largest benefit payments, you must have earned the taxable maximum for 35 years, worked for all those years in jobs covered by SSA and filed at 70. Those on SSI cannot opt for large payments from Social Security because they must have a low income to be eligible.
