Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) payments are scheduled for specific dates in September 2024, with certain groups of recipients set to receive a payment between September 18 and September 25.
These payments will benefit individuals with disabilities who meet specific eligibility requirements. Here’s what you need to know about the SSDI payments, who qualifies, and the remaining payment dates for 2024.
Who Qualifies for the $1,539 Payment?
Only two specific groups of SSDI recipients will receive payments between September 18 and September 25, 2024. The key factor determining your payment date is your birth date:
- September 18 Payment:
SSDI recipients whose birthdays fall between the 11th and 20th of any month will receive their payment on September 18, 2024. To qualify for this payment, you must also meet the general SSDI eligibility requirements, which include having a disability and earning enough work credits to receive SSDI benefits. - September 25 Payment:
SSDI recipients whose birthdays fall between the 21st and 31st of any month will receive their payment on September 25, 2024. This payment date applies to those who did not receive their September payments earlier in the month.
If your birth date falls between the 1st and 10th of any month, your SSDI payment should have already been issued earlier in September.
SSDI Payment Amounts
As of August 2024, the average monthly SSDI payment is $1,539. However, the actual amount you receive may vary based on factors like your work history and earnings before your disability.
While some beneficiaries may receive up to $3,822, this is relatively rare, as most individuals may not have worked long enough due to their disability to receive the maximum benefit.
Remaining SSDI Payment Dates in 2024
Here are the upcoming SSDI payment dates for the rest of 2024:
- September: 18, 25
- October: 3, 9, 16, 23
- November: 1, 13, 20, 27
- December: 3, 11, 18, 24
Explanation of Payment Timing:
- First Payment of the Month (October 3, November 1, December 3):
These payments are for SSDI recipients who have been receiving benefits since before May 1997. If you also receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI), you might get your SSDI on these dates. - Wednesday Payments:
These are based on your birth date:- 1st-10th: Payment on the second Wednesday of the month
- 11th-20th: Payment on the third Wednesday of the month
- 21st-31st: Payment on the fourth Wednesday of the month
What to Expect
Planning your budget around SSDI payments is essential, especially since payment dates vary depending on your birth date and eligibility.
If you qualify for SSDI and meet the birth date requirement, you can expect your next payment by September 18 or September 25, depending on your birthday. For future payments, be sure to check your birthday-based schedule to ensure you know when to expect your benefits.
If you haven’t received your payment by the expected date, it’s a good idea to check with the Social Security Administration (SSA) or your financial institution to confirm the status of your payment.
