If your Social Security is late you have to contact with the bank
Each month, the United States Social Security Administration sends up to four different checks to retirees. Each of these checks is for a specific group of Americans. So if you are expecting to get your March 20th payment you should know that it has mandatory requirements.
Likewise, there is also the possibility that we meet those requirements so that we have not gotten the payment. In that case we should claim our Social Security check as soon as possible. If there are delays in sending the money, the sooner we claim the check, the sooner we will get the corresponding benefit.
In the case of the March 20th payment, we will need to be part of Social Security retiree group 3 in order to collect the check. However, it could also happen that we are in this group and do not get the money immediately. That’s why you need to know how to claim each of your retirement checks.
How to claim your back Social Security payment?
The first thing to keep in mind when claiming Social Security back pay is that there are two steps to follow. Most of the time in the first step we can fix the error. But there are times when we will need to do step two.
In this sense, moving to step two is not possible, since we must first complete everything necessary in step 1. That is, the first thing we need to do to claim the overdue retirement payment is to contact our bank. The bank will be able to help us find out what is happening with the money.
This monthly check usually arrives without delays. But if it does, it could be because the bank has withheld the money. And that is why the first thing we should do is contact the bank. Once we talk to our bank we will be able to know if we have to take the second step or not.
And that second step is none other than to contact Social Security directly. But this will only be possible if we have done step 1. The Social Security Administration will ask us if we have contacted the bank in most cases.
So if you are having trouble getting Social Security on time, contact the bank first to eliminate possible problems. After that, talk to the Administration in case they have not been able to help you from your bank.
