SSDI payment: Only these 2 groups of disability beneficiaries will receive $1,539 shortly
According to Vibes.okdiario, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) payments are set to continue in early November, bringing relief to recipients with faster benefits compared to October. While SSDI payments are typically scheduled for November 3, this month will see an adjustment.
New Payment Date for SSDI Recipients
Due to November 3 falling on a Sunday when banks and Social Security offices are closed, the Social Security Administration (SSA) has moved the payment date. As a result, all eligible recipients will receive their SSDI payments in advance, with the new date set for November 1, 2024. To qualify for this payment, recipients must have begun receiving SSDI before May 1997 or be on Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
This change prevents potential delays in the disbursement of disability benefits, ensuring timely payments for all eligible recipients.
Shared Payment Dates for SSI and SSDI
In an added benefit, both SSDI and SSI payments will now be disbursed on the same day. This means that if you are receiving both types of benefits, you’ll receive all the funds you are entitled to on November 1.
SSDI Payment Amounts for November and December
For the months of November and December, SSDI payment amounts will remain consistent. The new Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) will not take effect until January 2025. Here are the expected payment amounts:
- Maximum Disability Insurance Payment: $3,822
- Average Payment for Workers with a Disability: $1,539
- Average Payment for Children of Workers with a Disability: $492
- Average Payment for Spouses of Workers with a Disability: $421
Recipients interested in finding out their new payment amounts for 2025 following the COLA increase can do so by accessing their My Social Security account. The COLA increase will provide an additional 2.5% per month. For instance, if your current payment is $1,000, your new amount after the increase will be $1,025.
