The Social Security Administration (SSA) has scheduled 3 more SSDI payments. If you are on Supplemental Security Income, you can also receive a payment in August even if you got one on August 1, 2024.
SSI recipients will get a new benefit check or direct deposit on August 30. This is because the September payment will have to be sent in advance. September 1 is a non-business day, and SSA will do it on the previous business Friday. But what about SSDI?
SSDI payment dates in August
While there is just 1 SSI payday, there are 3 for Social Security Disability Insurance starting on August 14. The August 14 payment will be for those beneficiaries whose birth date is before the eleventh of any month.
Bear in mind that this and the other 2 remaining direct deposits or checks are not for those on SSI or for those who received benefits before May 1997. So, those 2 requirements are also essential.
Eligible SSDI recipients will get another payment on August 21 if they have their birthdays from the 11th to the 20th. The last SSDI payment on August 28 will be for those who were born from 21-31.
SSI and SSDI payment amounts
SSI recipients can receive an average payment of about $697. This amount is for all beneficiaries. If you are 65 years old or older, your average payment is about $574.
If you are 18-64 and you qualify for SSI, you can receive about $743 on average. Under-18 can get about $815 on average. SSDI recipients can receive on average $1,537. That is much more than the Supplemental Security Income maximum amount of $943.
Those disability recipients who get the largest Social Security Disability Insurance payment can get up to $3,822. However, this payment amount is just for a few recipients who were high earners, worked for 35 years, and filed as late as possible. Needless to say, you must have had jobs covered by SSA. Unlike SSI payments.
