$1,650 in Direct Deposit for all these groups of retirees. See the full list of requirements

On: Monday, April 14, 2025 11:05 AM

If you live in the US and receive retirement funds from Social Security, there’s good news for you. In the coming days, or maybe even today, thousands of people will be receiving a new Social Security Direct Deposit. But not everyone will receive this payment — there are certain conditions that must be met.

When will you receive Social Security money?

The date you receive this payment depends on which payment method you chose to receive — such as Direct Deposit or check. Also, you must be in a specific group (Group 4). If you fall into this group, you may receive a payment in the last week of this month.

Note, if you did not receive a payment on March 26, it does not mean that you will never receive Social Security money again. The Social Security Administration makes payments four times each month, and each payment has its own dates and eligibility criteria. So it’s important that you understand which payment you are eligible for and then plan your month accordingly.

Who is eligible for this Social Security payment (Direct Deposit)?

This time payment will be received only by those people who have met the following two conditions:

You have received a Social Security payment since May 1997.
Your birthday falls between the 21st and 31st of any month.
If you meet both of these conditions, you fall into Group 4 and you can get this new payment.
What are the payment dates?
If you fall into Group 4, the payment date depends on whether you have Direct Deposit turned on:

March 26: If you have chosen the option of Direct Deposit, then the payment can come directly to your bank account today.

March 27 or 28: If you have not turned on Direct Deposit, then you will get a slightly delayed payment by paper check or other means.

In some cases, the payment may also come after March 28 due to bank processing time. This means that the Social Security Department sends the payment, but how quickly it reaches your account also depends on your bank.

How much money will you get?

The Social Security money you receive is the same every month. It changes only when the government implements COLA (Cost of Living Adjustment) once a year. If you have been receiving a monthly pension of $2,300 since the beginning of the year 2025, then you will get the same amount in this payment.

The amount of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) can change from month to month, but retirement pensions are generally stable.

Final point

If you fall into Group 4 and have turned on Direct Deposit, then you can get Social Security money on March 26. If you have not received it, then it may come in the next two-three days, especially if your bank takes some time to process the payment.

Keep checking your payment information and status regularly, and if for some reason you have not received the payment, contact the Social Security Administration. This way you can do your financial planning in a better way and manage your expenses on time.
