In the U.S., only one group of people who get Social Security Disability Insurance will get their monthly payment this week. But when exactly is this payday?
The next payment from Social Security under SSDI is set for August 28, 2024. So, people born after April 30, 1997, are the only ones who qualified if they don’t get SSI and got benefits after that date.
Not eligible for SSDI on August 28?
On August 28, some people may not get their Social Security Disability Insurance check. They did get their money, though, on August 2, 14, or 21. So, they won’t get their new direct payment or check until September.
- SSDI payment on September 3: received disability benefits before May 1997 or is also on SSI
- Disability Insurance payment on September 11: birthday from 1-10
- Disability Insurance payment on September 18: you were born after the 10th but before the 21st
- Disability Insurance payment on September 25: birth date from 21-31
Remember that the only way you can get SSDI is if you have a qualified disability and have worked for a certain amount of years. Tell SSA about any changes in your health that could affect your eligibility so they don’t overpay you.
SSDI payment amounts for August 28, September 3, 11, 18, and 25
The most you can get from Social Security Disability Insurance is $3,822. Still, the highest payment is only for a small group of disability recipients.
This is because they couldn’t file later because of their impairment. Your pay will go down as the number of years you have worked goes down. As of July 2024, the most that SSDI can pay out is just $1,538 a month.
Supplemental Security Income may also be available to people who get SSDI but whose benefits are too low. SSI payments are usually made on the first of every month. Yes, but not in September because it’s a Sunday; it will be sent on August 30, 2024. SSI recipients can get up to $973 per person, or $695 on average.
