SSDI recipients can receive a new payment as early as October 3, 2024. It will depend on when you started receiving Social Security Disability Insurance payments and if you are also receiving SSI or not.
For example, if you qualify for SSI on October 1 and you are also eligible for SSDI, your next payment date will be October 3, 2024. Those who started receiving payments before May 1997 will also receive the payment on the third.
SSDI payments after October 3
Social Security’s payment schedule announces SSDI payments for three different paydays after October 3, 2024. As a matter of fact, these checks will be sent on the second, third, and fourth Wednesday in October.
- Disability Insurance on October 9: birth date from 1-10
- Disability Insurance on October 16: born from 11-20
- Disability Insurance on October 23: birthday from 21-31
For your information, all these payments are only for those who are on SSDI but do not qualify for the payment on the 3rd. What is more, the amount of your payment will depend on your work history, earnings, and age you filed.
SSDI payment amounts for Oc. 3, 9, 16, 23
The average payment amount is $1,539 for Social Security Disability Insurance recipients in the U.S. However, some low earners may have qualified for a lower check, so they may also receive SSI.
On some occasions, workers with a disability can get up to $3,822. But this is only possible if you earned the taxable maximum for 35 years in jobs covered by SSA and file as late as SSA allows you to do so.
Spouses and children of workers with a disability on SSDI can also receive payments on the same dates. However, the amounts will be much lower and may be about $421 and $492 respectively. If you have a disability and you have medical certificates, it is time to apply for this benefit if it is expected to last for over a year.
