If you are a recipient of Social Security benefits, you should know that every month the organization publishes a schedule with the expected payment dates. On the official website, there is a section dedicated solely to payments, and although October is already halfway through, there are still supports to be received.
By knowing the schedule, you can find out when you will receive social subsidies, which can help you better plan your family budget for the coming month.
Thus, on October 23, the Social Integration Income will be paid. The schedule is concluded on October 28, when Social Security proceeds with the second payment for Unemployment/Disease/Parentality/Social Action. On this day, the Informal Caregiver Support Subsidy is also paid.
All these payments will be made by bank transfer and by postal order, except for the rent support, which is only paid by bank transfer.
The payment schedule for October has already been released by Social Security. By knowing the dates, you can find out when you will receive social subsidies, which can help you plan your family budget for the coming month.
Do you have 7 minutes? That’s all you need to know if you are entitled to any support
Social Security provides a social benefits simulator that practically reveals if you are entitled to any of the more than 60 supports. The answer comes after filling out an online questionnaire, which has an average completion time of seven minutes.
“Easily and quickly find out about the Social Security benefits and subsidies you may be entitled to and how to request them. The results presented depend exclusively on the data you enter and are not binding,” reads the Social Security portal.
In a “simple and quick” way, you can find out which Social Security benefits and subsidies you may be entitled to and how to request them. This involves a social benefits simulator – learn here how it works.
Find out what you will need
According to the organization, to answer the simulator questions as accurately as possible, you will need some information.
“The questions aim to determine which subsidies/benefits you may be eligible for, and all requested data are relevant for certain social benefits. Therefore, it is important to answer as correctly as possible. You can consult the simulation by clicking on the ‘Consult Simulation’ button,” reads the same portal.
Value of gross annual income
“The gross annual income is the money each person earns annually before deductions, including salaries, investment earnings, house rents, pensions, and social benefits. Gross income equals the total of all annual income before deductions. Income from young worker-students during school holidays or worker-students aged 27 or younger, whose annual value does not exceed 14 times the minimum wage, should not be included,” it says.
Where to obtain this information? “If you have submitted an IRS declaration, you can consult your gross annual income there.”
Value of movable assets
“Movable assets consist of bank deposits and other securities, such as shares, bonds, savings certificates, participation titles, and units in collective investment institutions. You must indicate the value of the movable assets at the date of application or request for social benefit,” explains Social Security.
Degree of disability (if applicable)
“The degree of disability certifies the percentage of physical or mental, permanent or temporary disability and determines if a person is fit or unfit to work,” it says.
Where to obtain this information? “The degree of disability can be consulted in the Multi-Purpose Disability Certificate, which must be requested by scheduling a consultation with the medical board at the Health Center,” it is noted.
