SSDI benefits give monthly payments to eligible recipients with a disability. This disability prevents them from working and must meet SSA’s strict definition. The first check will be due on July 3, one day before July 4, Independence Day.
After the SSDI payment on July 3, there will be three more direct deposits. Not all Disability Insurance beneficiaries get money on the same day. Some receive their payment on the second, third, or fourth Wednesday in July.
Eligibility for SSDI on July 3, 10, 17 and 24
The Social Security Administration claims that to receive Disability Insurance Payments on July 3 you must belong to one of the 2 eligible groups. Otherwise, you must wait for the second round of payments.
To get money from SSDI on July 3 you must have been on benefits before May 1997. Another possibility is to be on SSI (Supplemental Security Income) and Disability Insurance simultaneously.
Therefore, you receive SSI on July 1, 2024, and SSDI on July 3. Those who are not on SSI or got disability benefits after April 30, 1997, will get it on July 10, 17 or 24. The exact date will depend on their birth date. Birthdays from 1-10, payment on July 10. If it is from 11-20, they get SSDI on July 17. So, the rest is on July 24.
SSDI amounts for July 2024
Since Disability Insurance payments are only for those workers who have filed, got approval, and earned enough work credits, their amount may be quite different.
For example, if you have earned the taxable maximum for 35 years, you could receive up to $3,822. However, very few American workers can get so much money.
Hence, average payments are much more frequent. For example, as of May 2024, the average SSDI payment is worth $1,537. If you are about to apply for Disability Insurance make sure your spouse and children’s eligibility as well. They may also get money from the Social Security Administration every month.
