March is coming to an end and April is just around the corner with millions of payments of up to $5,108. These Social Security checks or direct deposits will be due on the second, third, and fourth Wednesday in April 2025. Some retired workers may qualify for a monthly payment on April 3.
However, the April 3 payment will be for those who are simultaneously on SSI and for those who started getting retirement benefits before May 1997. If you are not on SSI and you got benefits after April 30, 1997, your paydays will be April 9, 16 and 23.
Who will receive Social Security payments on April 9, 16 or 23?
The Agency has arranged these paydays in 2025 using your birth date. So, if you qualify for any of these monthly payments, you must have been born on specific days.
For example, if your birthday is on the 5th, you belong to the group that receives the first round of Wednesday payments in the United States. So, your group is the one with birthdays from the 1st to the 10th and your payday on April 9, 2025.
Retirees whose birth dates are from the 11th to the 20th will receive their Social Security on April 16, 2025. Thus, you must have been born after the 10th but before the 21st. The last payday will be on April 23 if you were born between the 21st and the 31st.
Which retirees can get Social Security payments worth $5,108 in April?
To know if you can receive so much money from the Agency, you must meet 4 key conditions. In the first place, you must have filed at the age of 70. This is when a worker can take advantage of delayed credits.
These Social Security credits will give you 24% extra. So, it is a huge boost if you delay filing. The second condition is to have worked for 35 years. Although it is linked to these requirements, the third has to do with the taxes you pay.
In fact, you must have jobs covered by the Social Security Administration. Finally, you must have earned the taxable maximum for 35 years. Undoubtedly, this is the most difficult condition to achieve.
