According to lagradaonline, In September 2024, the Social Security Administration (SSA) will issue three rounds of disability benefits payments. Beneficiaries who qualified for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) before May 1997 will receive their monthly checks on the 3rd of the month, unless it falls on a weekend. For those who claimed benefits after May 1997, payments are scheduled as follows:
- September 11: For beneficiaries born between the 1st and 10th.
- September 18: For beneficiaries born between the 11th and 20th.
- September 25: For beneficiaries born between the 21st and 31st.
If you do not receive your check on the scheduled date, wait at least three mailing days before contacting the SSA.
