Social Security Disability Insurance benefits will be arriving in early October. SSDI recipients who meet all the requirements will get their Social Security payment on October 3.
However, some SSDI recipients will not receive the money they are entitled to until October 9, 16, or 23. This is because they qualify for a different payday and they do not meet the requirements for the October 3 checks.
October 3 payment & eligibility for SSDI
As a matter of fact, 2 completely different groups of Americans can receive Social Security Disability Insurance benefits on October 3. One of them is those beneficiaries who have been receiving disability benefits longer.
That is, those who began receiving SSDI before May 1997. So, if you have been collecting these payments for over 27 years, this will be your payday. Apart from them, there is a group of low-income recipients.
Those SSDI beneficiaries who receive SSI at the same time qualify for a Social Security payment on October 3, 2024. Actually, they get SSI on October 1 and Disability Insurance on the 3rd.
How much will SSDI recipients get on October 3, 2024?
The amount of money an Social Security Disability Insurance recipient receives depends on their work history and filing age among other factors. For example, you can receive larger SSDI payments if you:
- have worked for 35 years or more
- have earned a really large wage for 35 years
- have filed as close as possible to Full Retirement Age
- had jobs covered by SSA
The largest SSDI payment on October 3 will be worth $3,822. However, this is something unlikely and only a few American workers can achieve it. Average payments are much more frequent and likely.
As of August 2024, the Social Security Disability Insurance is worth $1,539 on average. Those who also receive Supplemental Security Income payments may get a much lower-than-average check or direct deposit. If your benefits are not enough you can also apply for SNAP benefits.
