If you are eligible for SSDI, disability benefits, you may receive a payment on August 2. However, you must belong to one of the 2 qualifying groups. If you are on Disability Insurance and SSI, you will receive it on August 2. Those Disability Insurance recipients who started getting benefits before May 1997 will get it too.
The thing is those who are not eligible for the SSDI payment on August 2 will have to wait until August 14. Therefore, there will be no Social Security Disability Insurance payments scheduled from August 4 through August 10.
No SSDI paydays scheduled next week
Even if there are no Social Security Disability Insurance payments scheduled for next week, that does not mean payments are delayed. As a matter of fact, all payments will be delivered when they are due.
However, some SSDI recipients may receive their money up to three mailing days after the payday. This is because some financial institutions or banks may not be able to process all the payments on time.
If you think your check is late, lost, or stolen, you can call the Social Security Administration after 3 mailing days. Bear in mind that you can also visit your local office but making an appointment is advisable to avoid standing in line.
Eligibility and amounts for SSDI in August
So far, there have been no changes to the SSDI payments. Thus, you must have a qualifying disability and have worked enough to earn the necessary work credits to be eligible.
Those workers who did not pay taxes to the Social Security Administration will not be eligible for the SSDI payments. However, they can apply for Supplemental Security Income if they have a low income.
As for the amounts, SSDI recipients can get $1,537 on average. If you were a high earner and your disability allowed you to work for 35 years and earn the taxable maximum you could receive up to $3,822. Although this amount is unlikely, it is possible.
