If you’re a new Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) beneficiary or just curious about the next direct deposit, you can check when to expect your payment this month. While some SSDI beneficiaries have already received their payments for September, two important groups are still awaiting theirs. If you’re in one of these groups, you could be receiving your payment soon.
SSDI payments can be sent via check or direct deposit, and the Social Security Administration is ensuring that payments are on time. If your payment is delayed, the first step is to contact your bank. Now, let’s take a closer look at the payment schedule.
September
There are still two rounds of SSDI payments left for September. If you didn’t qualify for the earlier payments, don’t worry, you may still be due for one of these:
- September 18: For those with birthdays between the 11th and 20th.
- September 25: For those born between the 21st and the 31st.
SSDI payment amounts vary based on your background and work history. On average, beneficiaries receive around $1,539, but payments can go as high as $3,822 for higher earners who meet specific criteria.
Schedule for September
| Payment Date | Birthday Range |
|---|---|
| September 18 | 11th-20th |
| September 25 | 21st-31st |
If you haven’t received your payment by these dates, reach out to your bank to ensure there are no issues.
October
Looking ahead to October, some SSDI recipients may also receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI). The Social Security Administration has scheduled the first SSI payment for October 1.
- If you began receiving SSDI before May 1997, you’ll receive your next SSDI payment on October 3.
- If you’re receiving both SSDI and SSI, October 3 will also be your payday.
For those who do not receive SSI and who began receiving SSDI after April 30, 1997, payments will be issued on Wednesdays in October. Here’s the breakdown:
- October 9: For those with birthdays between the 1st and 10th.
- October 16: For those with birthdays between the 11th and 20th.
- October 23: For those with birthdays between the 21st and 31st.
On average, SSDI payments in October will likely stay similar to September’s—around $1,539—but could be higher or lower depending on individual earnings history.
Schedule for October
| Payment Date | Birthday Range |
|---|---|
| October 9 | 1st-10th |
| October 16 | 11th-20th |
| October 23 | 21st-31st |
Supplemental Assistance
If you find that your SSDI payments aren’t enough to cover your monthly expenses, you may want to consider applying for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits. Both programs are designed to help individuals with limited income, offering financial assistance to make ends meet.
SSDI payments can be a lifeline for those unable to work due to a disability, but if they’re not enough, additional help is available. SSI benefits provide monthly payments to help cover basic needs, while SNAP can assist with food costs.
While waiting for your SSDI payments, keep an eye on your bank account or mailbox to ensure timely arrival. And if any issues arise, don’t hesitate to reach out to your financial institution or the Social Security Administration for help.
