Next Week: 3 Groups Will Get Checks Between $2,710 and $4,873 – Find Out If You Qualify

Next week, several Americans will receive payments ranging from $2,710 to $4,873, and you might be one of them!

These checks are part of ongoing federal programs, including Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI), designed to provide financial assistance to those who qualify.

If you’ve been wondering whether you’re eligible to receive one of these checks, this article will break down the three groups set to receive payments and what you need to know to check your eligibility.

1. Social Security Retirees

The first group eligible for checks between $2,710 and $4,873 are Social Security retirees. These payments are a part of the regular Social Security retirement benefits issued by the Social Security Administration (SSA).

• Amount: The average monthly Social Security retirement benefit in 2025 is approximately $2,710, but the exact amount you receive depends on your work history and when you begin claiming your benefits. If you wait until your full retirement age or beyond to start receiving benefits, you may receive a higher monthly amount, with some individuals qualifying for as much as $4,873.
• Eligibility: To qualify for Social Security retirement benefits, you must have worked and paid into Social Security for at least 10 years (or earned 40 “credits”). The amount of your check will depend on your lifetime earnings and when you choose to start receiving benefits. Social Security retirement benefits are available starting at age 62, but the full retirement age ranges from 66 to 67 depending on when you were born.
• When Payments Will Be Issued: Social Security payments are typically issued on the second, third, and fourth Wednesday of every month, depending on your birthdate. If you’re eligible for a payment next week, it will likely arrive in your bank account on your designated payment day.

2. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) Recipients

The second group set to receive checks next week are those enrolled in Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). SSDI is available to individuals who are unable to work due to a qualifying disability.

• Amount: The monthly SSDI payment varies depending on your work history and contributions to Social Security, but the average monthly SSDI payment in 2025 is around $1,500. However, the most someone could receive is $4,873, depending on how much they earned during their working years.
• Eligibility: To qualify for SSDI, you must have a medical condition that meets the Social Security Administration’s definition of disability. Additionally, you must have worked and paid Social Security taxes for a certain number of years. The number of work credits required depends on your age at the time of your disability.
• When Payments Will Be Issued: Similar to retirement benefits, SSDI payments are generally issued on a monthly basis. If you qualify for SSDI, you’ll receive your payment based on your birthdate, with some checks being issued as early as next week.

3. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Beneficiaries

The third group eligible for checks between $2,710 and $4,873 are those receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI), a program that provides financial assistance to individuals who are elderly, blind, or disabled and have limited income and resources.

• Amount: The federal maximum SSI payment is lower than Social Security retirement or SSDI benefits, typically around $914 for individuals and $1,371 for couples in 2025. However, some states, including Texas, offer additional benefits to SSI recipients, which can increase the overall amount of financial assistance. While the base federal SSI payment is lower, some people who qualify for both SSI and other programs could see a larger total check in the range of $2,710 to $4,873.
• Eligibility: SSI is a needs-based program, meaning that your eligibility depends on your financial situation rather than your work history. To qualify, you must have limited income and resources, and meet specific age, blindness, or disability criteria.
• When Payments Will Be Issued: SSI payments are typically made on the first of each month, although some recipients may see their checks arrive slightly earlier or later depending on weekends and holidays. If you qualify for SSI, expect your payment to be issued next week.

How to Check If You Qualify

If you believe you may be eligible for any of these programs, it’s important to check your status to ensure you’re receiving the correct payments. Here’s how you can do that:

1. Review Your SSA Account: If you’ve already applied for Social Security retirement, SSDI, or SSI, you can log into your account at www.ssa.gov to view your payment status, estimate future payments, and make any updates to your personal information.
2. Contact the SSA: If you’re unsure about your eligibility, you can contact the SSA directly. You can call the SSA toll-free at 1-800-772-1213 or schedule an appointment to speak with a representative at your local SSA office.
3. Consult a Financial Advisor: If you have complex questions about your benefits or eligibility, or if you’re not sure whether you qualify for other forms of assistance, it might be helpful to speak with a financial advisor who specializes in Social Security benefits.

Next week, checks between $2,710 and $4,873 will be issued to Social Security retirees, SSDI recipients, and SSI beneficiaries. If you fall into one of these groups, it’s important to stay up to date with your payment schedule and confirm your eligibility to ensure you receive the benefits you are entitled to. With the new year underway, now is a great time to review your Social Security account, check your eligibility, and make any necessary updates to avoid delays or confusion when it comes to your payments.

If you’re unsure whether you qualify, don’t hesitate to reach out to the Social Security Administration for more information or assistance. Keep an eye on your mailbox or bank account next week – your check could be on its way!
