As September kicks off, Social Security beneficiaries are eagerly anticipating their new payments. If you’re receiving Disability benefits, it’s crucial to understand the specific conditions to get your first payment of the month promptly.
Eligibility for the September 3 Disability Payment
To receive your Disability payment on September 3, 2024, you must meet two key conditions:
- Benefit Received Before May 1997: Only those who have been receiving Disability benefits since before May 1997 are eligible for the September 3 payment.
- Direct Deposit Activation: While not mandatory, activating Direct Deposit is highly recommended to ensure you receive your payment on September 3. Without Direct Deposit, your check may be delayed by several days.
Additional September Payment Dates
If you do not meet the criteria for the September 3 payment, don’t worry. Social Security will distribute additional payments throughout the month:
- September 11: For retirees receiving benefits after May 1997 with birthdays between the 1st and 10th.
- September 18: For retirees with birthdays between the 11th and 20th, also receiving benefits after May 1997.
- September 25: For retirees with birthdays between the 21st and 31st, with benefits received after May 1997.
Make sure to check the specific requirements for each payment date to avoid any delays and ensure you receive your benefits as scheduled.
