The SSDI payment schedule for October will bring 4 Social Security checks this month. Of course, recipients can only be eligible for one of them. Unless they receive SSI simultaneously, which is a completely different program funded by the Federal government.
SSDI payments are only for workers whose disability is qualifying and prevents them from working for over a year. Besides, they must have filed, gotten approval, and worked for the minimum number of years, 10 is generally enough, but could be lower.
When will SSDI recipients get money from Social Security first?
October 3 will be the first payday that the Administration has scheduled. For your information, this will not be your payment date if you started getting benefits after April 30, 1997.
SSDI will have three more paydays on October 9, 16 and 23. Now, let’s have a look at the eligibility of the disability payment on the third and the rounds of Wednesday payments.
