Disability beneficiaries may receive a payment on May 15. This is only possible if they qualified for Social Security Disability Insurance after April 30, 1997, and the day they were born matches the other key requirement.
Therefore, if your birth date is from 11-20 too, you are an eligible disability beneficiary in the United States on May 15, 2024. So, it does not matter the age you filed or the year you were born to qualify.
OTHER DISABILITY BENEFICIARIES GET A PAYMENT ON MAY 22
If you were on SSDI after April 30, 1997, but your birthday is from 21-31, this will be your next SSDI payment. So, disability beneficiaries will only have to wait one more week to receive a new payment from SSA.
Those who started receiving Social Security before May 1997 will receive their next SSDI check or direct deposit on June 3. If you are on SSI and Social Security at the same time June 3 will also be your payday.
Some disability beneficiaries do not qualify for May 15 or May 22 checks. However, they receive Supplemental Security Income. In this case, your next SSI payment will arrive on May 31 rather than June 1, 2024.
WHICH DISABILITY BENEFICIARIES CAN RECEIVE $1,537 ON MAY 15 OR MAY 22?
This is only an average amount for SSDI recipients. Therefore, it is unlikely that you receive this exact amount. However, you could receive a similar amount. The higher your salary was as a worker, the more money you will get as an SSDI beneficiary.
The age you filed for Social Security and the number of years you worked for may also affect your payment amount. Some high earners can receive up to $3,822 on May 15 or May 22.
Do not forget that when you apply for SSDI, you can check if any family member, child, or spouse qualifies for disability benefits on your record. This is a great way to support your family from a financial point of view.
