Your $1,900 Social Security Check – What You Need to Know

If you were born between the 11th and the 20th of any month, and you qualify for retirement benefits, you’ll receive a $1,900 Social Security check on average tomorrow. But, before you get too excited, ensure you meet the specific requirements set by the Social Security Administration (SSA).

For millions of American seniors, these monthly checks provide the financial stability needed to cover living expenses and enjoy a comfortable retirement. The SSA, the federal agency responsible for distributing these benefits, plays a crucial role in ensuring retirees and their survivors receive the support they deserve.

Upcoming Social Security Payments

This month, there are two remaining Social Security payments scheduled. If you’re a retired worker expecting a Social Security check, you’ll receive your funds on June 18th and June 26th. Here’s a quick breakdown of the payment schedule:

If your check doesn’t arrive on time, wait at least three days before contacting the SSA. You can also check your My Social Security account for more information about your monthly earnings and financial statements.

Who Is Eligible?

To receive a $1,900 Social Security check, you need to meet several criteria. The SSA determines payment amounts based on your work history and the Social Security taxes you’ve paid. Here’s what you need to qualify:

• Earned 40 work credits: Equivalent to about ten years of work.
• Made required payments: Ensuring you’ve paid Social Security taxes.
• Claimed benefits before Full Retirement Age (FRA): The FRA varies depending on your birth year.

Here’s a look at the average Social Security payouts based on retirement age:

IRS Overhauls Pension and Retirement Plans – Social Security Checks Impacted

Age	Social Security Check Amount
On average	$1,900
Before FRA (age 62)	$2,710
At FRA (age 67)	$3,822
After FRA (age 70)	$4,873

Next year, thanks to the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA), your monthly benefits will increase. The Senior Citizens League (TSCL) projects a COLA between 2.6% and 3.2% for 2025. If a 3.2% increase is applied, here’s what you can expect:

Retirees	Social Security Check in 2024	Including COLA 2025
On average	$1,900	$1,960
Age 62	$2,710	$2,796
Age 67	$3,822	$3,944
Age 70	$4,873	$5,028

Please note, these figures are projections and the official COLA for 2025 will be announced in October.

Consider Retiring Abroad

Retirement planning is a significant concern for many. According to an AARP survey, 20% of Americans aged 50 and older have no retirement savings, and 61% worry about not having enough money to cover retirement expenses. This financial anxiety is leading many seniors to consider retiring abroad.

Italy, for instance, is an attractive option due to its lower cost of living and generous pension system. By retiring in Italy, seniors can stretch their Social Security benefits further, especially when it comes to private healthcare costs, which are much lower compared to the US.

Retiring abroad can provide a more affordable and enjoyable lifestyle, allowing seniors to make the most of their retirement years without the constant stress of financial insecurity.
