November 2024 brings important updates for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) recipients. This article breaks down the payment schedule, eligibility criteria, and the amounts beneficiaries can expect.
Payment Schedule Overview
In November, there will be four SSDI payment dates. The timing of these payments depends on the eligibility criteria and the birth dates of the recipients.
November 1 Payments
The first payment date is set for November 1. This payment will be received by:
- Workers with disabilities who began receiving SSDI benefits before May 1997.
- Individuals on Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Disability Insurance benefits, who qualify for both programs.
Additional Payment Dates
For those who do not qualify for the November 1 payment, there are three additional paydays scheduled for the month:
- November 13: Payments for those born between the 1st and 10th of the month.
- November 20: Payments for those born between the 11th and 20th of the month.
- November 27: Payments for those born between the 21st and 31st of the month.
Payment Amounts for November 2024
The amounts disbursed in November will vary based on individual circumstances.
Maximum SSDI Benefits
For November 2024, the maximum SSDI benefit will reach $3,822. Beneficiaries can expect an increase in this amount in the coming year, as it is set to rise to $4,018 starting January 2025.
Average Payments for Various Recipients
Not all recipients will receive the maximum benefit. For some workers with shorter work histories—especially those who may have filed for benefits in their 20s or 30s—payments may average around $1,539.
For those receiving Supplemental Security Income, the average payment is about $697, with the maximum amount available being $943 for individuals and up to $1,415 for eligible married couples.
