SSDI benefits are monthly payments from the Disability Insurance program. Social Security can send monthly checks or direct deposits to workers who paid enough taxes, have a qualifying disability, and have not been able to work for over a year.
What is more, not only workers can receive money from the Social Security Disability Insurance program. A spouse and their children can also receive money from SSA. Even if their checks may not be high, it will help improve the financial situation the family has after the disability appears.
SSDI payment for families on October 3
The Social Security Administration has announced that the next Disability Insurance payment will be issued on October 3. To get this payment you must have been receiving disability benefits for over 27 years.
That is, you began receiving disability benefits before May 1997. Another possibility to qualify for SSDI on October 3 is to get both SSI and SSDI. So, any of these 2 ways can qualify you.
Since the average SSDI check, as of August 2024, is $1,539, a spouse gets $421 and a child $492, the total amount would be about $2,452 for a family. It is definitely much better than just $1,539 although you all need to qualify to get three checks.
- average Disability Insurance payment for workers: $1,539
- average Disability Insurance payment for workers: $421
- average Disability Insurance payment for workers: $492
SSDI payment for families on October 9
If you are receiving Social Security Disability Insurance but you do not qualify for the payment on the third, October 9 may be your next payday if you meet the birthday requirement.
SSA claims that you could get a Disability Insurance payment on this date if you were born from the 1st to the 10th. It does not really matter the month you were born or the year, as long as you got approval.
Those who do not qualify for an average payment may get either a lower or a higher payment. Lower-than-average checks can allow you to get SSI, so apply if you do not receive them. The highest payments can be up to $3,822.
