If you are a beneficiary of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), it’s crucial to stay informed about your payment schedule and eligibility. This article outlines the upcoming payment dates for September and October 2024, detailing who qualifies and what amounts to expect.
Upcoming Payment Date: September 25, 2024
For those who have not yet received their SSDI direct deposit for September, mark September 25 on your calendar. This date is particularly important for eligible recipients who meet the necessary criteria set by the Social Security Administration.
Eligibility Criteria for September Payments
Only SSDI beneficiaries whose birthdays fall between the 21st and 31st of the month can expect their payments on September 25, 2024. If your birthday is on or before the 20th, regardless of the month, you will not receive your payment on this date.
Additionally, it’s important to note that individuals receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) will not receive their SSDI payments on September 25. Those who began collecting benefits before May 1997 are also ineligible for this payment date.
Expected Payment Amounts
For those eligible for the September 25 payment, the average amount is projected to be approximately $1,539. High earners may receive up to $3,822, depending on factors such as payroll taxes paid, the age at which they filed, and the duration of their work history.
