SSDI stands for Social Security Disability Insurance. This program sends money to workers who cannot do their jobs due to a disability for over a year. Sometimes workers can go back to work if they overcome their disability.
On other occasions, these payments last until SSDI recipients reach Full Retirement Age and start receiving retirement benefits. October brings 4 of these disability benefit payments, so let’s check eligibility for the early payments this month.
SSDI as early as October 3
Some SSDI recipients can receive a monthly payment on the third. This will be your case if you got benefits before May 1997. However, it is not the only possibility to receive money this week.
Those Americans with a disability who are receiving SSDI and SSI at the same time also qualify for the October 3 direct deposit or check. In fact, they will also receive SSI on October 1. So they will receive 2 payments this week.
Bear in mind that you can only receive this money from the Administration if you got approval. Social Security can stop payments if you break any rules or if your disability disappears due to surgery or recovery.
SSDI after October 3
Another early payment for disability recipients will be due on October 9. However, to get money from Social Security on the 9th you must have received benefits after April 30, 1997.
What is more, your birthday must be before the 11th of any month. That is, from the 1st and up to the 10th. Do not forget that each disability recipient may qualify for a different payment amount. This is because Social Security benefits increase as you pay more taxes.
In fact, those who earn the taxable maximum for 35 years can receive an SSDI check or direct deposit worth $3,822. Compared to the average payment worth $1,537 there is a considerable difference. The last 2 SSDI paydays will be on October 16 and 23.
