Disability recipients can collect either Supplemental Security Income or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). Sometimes they can even receive both of them if they have a very low income.
SSDI and SSI are not always on the same paydays, but they often arrive on the same day. For example, SSI tends to be in recipients’ accounts on the first of each month, and Disability Insurance on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Wednesday.
No SSDI on June 19
Following the pattern Social Security has for SSDI payments, there should have been a Disability Insurance check or direct deposit on June 19. However, June 19 is Juneteenth National Independence Day.
As it is a Federal holiday, SSA has had to re-schedule this payment and send it on June 18 instead. Therefore, beneficiaries can receive a new payment 24 hours before the usual payday.
Instead of getting the money from Social Security on the third Wednesday, SSDI recipients will cash a payment on the third Tuesday. But who will receive a payment and how much?
Eligibility for the SSDI on June 18
Not all Social Security Disability Insurance recipients get money on the same paydays. It depends on when you started receiving disability benefits. For example, if you got benefits before May 1997, your next check or direct deposit will arrive on July 3.
To get money on June 18, you must have been on benefits after April 30, 1997, and have your birthday from the 11-20 of any month. Those who do not meet the birthday requirement do not qualify. If your birth date is from 21-31, you may qualify for the payment on June 26.
The maximum benefit payment on June 18 will be $3,822. However, if you had an average wage as a worker, you may expect an average payment of about $1,537. If you get less money, check if your income allows you to receive Supplemental Security Income at the same time.
