Since the Social Security Administration scheduled the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for September on August 30, there were 2 SSI checks sent in August and SSDI payments will be the first one in September.
As a matter of fact, the first SSDI payment will be disbursed on September 3, 2024. This will be when 2 groups of Disability Insurance recipients may get some money from the Administration.
SSDI eligibility on September 3
To get a check or direct deposit on September 3, SSDI recipients must have:
- collected an SSI payment on August 30, 2024
- or started receiving Disability Insurance benefits before May 1997
- remained eligible and could not break Social Security rules
But what if you do not qualify for Social Security on September 3, 2024? In this case, you will receive your money depending on the day you were born. The earlier in the month you were born, the sooner your SSDI payment will be issued.
SSDI eligibility for the payments after September 3
The Social Security Administration has confirmed that the Disability Insurance payment on September 11 will only be for those recipients whose birthday is from the first to the tenth, that is, before the 11th.
Another possibility is to receive an SSDI payment on September 18, but only if you were born after the 10th and before the 21st. The last payment date for Disability Insurance will be for those whose birth date is after the 20th of any month.
For those who do not know how much SSDI recipients get per month, SSA unveiled that the average payment is worth $1,538. If you were a high earner for 35 years you may have qualified for the largest Social Security check for these benefits, $3,822 in 2024.
Do not forget that if you overcome your disability, you need to report it. Even if you have just improved, you should inform the Social Security Administration. Not doing so may end up in an overpayment, so you would need to give the money back to the SSA.
