$1,537 SSDI Check Expected in About 10 Days – Says Social Security

Navigating Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) can be confusing, especially with different payment schedules and eligibility criteria. Let’s break down the upcoming payment dates and amounts, as well as who qualifies for these benefits.

Payments

The next SSDI payment date is set for August 14, 2024. However, if you already received a payment on August 2, you’re not eligible for another one on this date. Additionally, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients are also excluded from the August 14 payment if they got their payment on August 2.

So, who qualifies for the August 14 payment? To be eligible, your birthday must fall between the 1st and the 10th of any month. If you were born on or after the 11th, you’ll need to wait for the subsequent payment dates, which are August 21 and August 28.

Amounts

Now, let’s talk about the money. The average SSDI payment is approximately $1,537. However, the amount you receive can vary significantly based on several factors. These include the number of years you worked, the amount of taxes you paid into the Social Security Administration (SSA), the age you applied for Disability Insurance, and your previous wages.

SSDI benefits aren’t just for workers; they can also extend to spouses and children. However, their payments are typically lower. For example, spouses can receive around $420, while children might get about $493 on average. These amounts can be higher for families with higher earnings or who waited longer to file.

Average SSDI Payments

Recipient	Average Payment
Worker	$1,537
Spouse	$420
Child	$493

Maximum

Wondering how much you could potentially receive? The maximum SSDI benefit in 2024 is $3,822. This amount doesn’t change based on the specific payment date; it’s consistent throughout the year. However, getting this maximum amount isn’t common. To qualify, you must have earned the taxable maximum for 35 years, worked in jobs covered by the SSA, filed as late as possible, and worked for at least 35 years.

Future

If your birthday falls between the 11th and 20th, your SSDI payment will be on August 21. For those born after the 20th, the next payment date is August 28. These staggered payment dates help manage the distribution of funds more efficiently.

Navigating SSDI payments can be complex, but knowing the eligibility criteria and payment structure can make it easier. Whether you’re receiving benefits for yourself or dependents, knowing when and how much you’ll receive helps you plan your finances better.
