The December payments for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) are just around the corner. However, there is one more payday in late November. The thing is that to qualify for this direct deposit, you cannot be receiving Supplemental Security Income. If you started getting Disability Insurance before May 1997, you will not qualify either.
Social Security’s payment schedule unveiled that the last Disability Insurance payment will be delivered to the recipient’s bank accounts on November 27, right 6 days before the SSDI payments in December begin.
What are the key requirements to get SSDI on November 27?
Actually, to receive money in less than 2 days, you must have been born on a specific day. For example, if you were born from the 1st to the 20th, you will not qualify.
Only those SSDI recipients whose birthday is from 21-31 will receive their Social Security payment. And they cannot:
- be receiving SSI
- be receiving SSDI since before May 1997
- break SSA’s rules
Bear in mind that having a disability is essential. So, if you overcome your disability, you must report it to the Social Security Administration since it will affect your eligibility and you should avoid overpayments.
Who can receive $421 or $1,542 from SSDI?
The amount of your SSDI payment will be made-to-measure. Therefore, each recipient will get a different amount depending on their work, filing age, and earnings history.
On average, SSDI recipients get $1,542. However, your Disability Insurance payment can be up to $3,822 if you were a high earner for 35 years and filed as late as SSA allows applicants to do so. $421 will be the average check for spouses of workers with a disability.
Although you need about 40 work credits to get retirement benefits, a disability may allow you to receive benefits before reaching the age of 62. But this will mean your payment will decrease a lot. Those workers on Disability Insurance who receive a small payment can also apply for Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
