The Social Security Administration confirmed the payments for the last week of 2023. Disability benefits are arriving soon and you may qualify for any of these two payments.
Get ready to receive money, but first, check if you qualify for the Social Security Disability Insurance payment on December 27. If you did not qualify for the first three SSDI checks, and you are on Social Security, this payment must be yours.
Anyway, make sure your birthday is from the 21st to the 31st. This is the requirement you must meet to get your Social Security Disability Insurance check in three days.
HOW MUCH CAN I RECEIVE ON THE DECEMBER 27 SSDI PAYMENT?
Although there is not a fixed amount, there are average payments and maximum amounts. For example, if you get an average SSDI payment, you can get about $1,489 in 2023.
This amount will no longer be the same in 2024. Thanks to the 2024 COLA increase, the average payment for those on disability benefits (SSDI) will be $1,537, about 44 dollars higher.
It is true that a few workers have managed to achieve the largest Social Security Disability Insurance check. In 2023, it is $3,627, and it will be $3,822 in 2024 said SSA.
Spouses of workers with a disability on SSDI can get about $407 on average. Some children of workers with a disability may also receive SSDI and their average amounts are 476 as of November 2023.
WHEN WILL THE SECOND DISABILITY PAYMENT ARRIVE?
If you do not qualify for the SSDI payment on December 27, you may be eligible for the next SSI check. The Supplemental Security Income payment will be ready on December 29, 2023.
The best thing about this SSI payment is the fact that it arrives 3 days before the normal due date. It should have been on New Year but banks are not open. This check will bring the 2024 COLA increase from the Administration.
The maximum amount a recipient can get is $943 in 2024. However, few disability beneficiaries can get the full amount. Average payments will be approximately $673 (as of November 2023). If you have a disability and you have not filed for SSDI or SSI yet, get medical certificates to prove your condition.
Unless it is a qualifying disability, you can not get SSDI or SSI, but sometimes you can receive both of them. SSI applicants can also get it because of their age, but in all cases, you must have a low income. Those whose checks are too low and cannot make ends meet can apply for SNAP and get money for food.
