SSI & SSDI Payments Tomorrow Directly In Bank Account: Know Eligibility & More Details

If you’re a Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) recipient, keep an eye on your bank account, as your payment is scheduled for September 25, 2024. This will be the final SSDI payment for September.

Meanwhile, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients will need to wait until October 1 for their next payment.

Let’s break down who qualifies for this September 25 payment, as well as what you can expect for October payments.

SSDI Payment on September 25: Who Qualifies?

The September 25 SSDI payment will be deposited to eligible recipients who meet the following criteria:

• Birthdate: You must have been born between the 21st and 31st of any month.
• SSI Exclusion: You are not eligible for this payment if you receive SSI. SSDI and SSI recipients follow different payment schedules.
• SSDI Start Date: Your SSDI benefits must have begun after April 30, 1997. If you started receiving SSDI benefits before May 1997, you will not receive a payment on September 25. Instead, your next payment will be sent on October 3, 2024.

If you meet these conditions, your SSDI payment will be deposited directly into your account or sent via check tomorrow.

SSDI and SSI Payment Schedule for October

Here’s a look at the upcoming payment dates for October:

• October 3, 2024: SSDI recipients who began receiving benefits before May 1997 will get their next payment on this date. Those who receive both SSI and SSDI will also receive their payment on October 3.
