Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) recipients have different payment schedules depending on various factors, including their birthdate.
While many SSDI recipients expected a payment on September 11, others may not qualify for this payment due to specific rules set by the Social Security Administration (SSA).
Here’s a breakdown of why some recipients won’t receive an SSDI payment on September 11 and details about the other payment dates.
Why No SSDI Payment on September 11?
If you didn’t receive an SSDI payment on September 11, it’s likely because:
- You already received a payment on September 3: SSDI recipients only receive one payment per month. If you were paid earlier, you will not qualify for the September 11 deposit.
- You don’t meet the birthday requirement: Payments on September 11 are reserved for those whose birthdays fall between the 1st and 10th of any month. If your birthday is later in the month, your payment will arrive on a different date.
Birthday Requirement for SSDI Payments
- September 11 Payment: For recipients born between the 1st and 10th of the month.
- September 18 Payment: For those born between the 11th and 20th of the month.
- September 25 Payment: For recipients born after the 20th.
If your birthday falls outside these ranges, your payment will be scheduled for one of the other SSA-designated dates.
What to Do if You Didn’t Receive a Payment
If you did not receive an SSDI payment on September 11 and were expecting one, check your birthdate or your previous payment schedule to determine your correct payday. Remember, only one SSDI payment is made per month, and additional payments for the month won’t apply unless you’re receiving other benefits like Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
How Much Can SSDI Recipients Expect in September?
For 2024, the SSA has stated that the maximum SSDI benefit is $3,822 per month. However, not everyone qualifies for this amount.
The average SSDI payment in August 2024 was $1,539, but individual payments may be smaller depending on your work history and the amount of Social Security taxes paid during your working years.
If your SSDI benefit is below the average, you might also qualify for Supplemental Security Income (SSI), which provides extra financial support for those with limited income.
Important Upcoming SSDI Payment Dates
- September 11: Payment for recipients born between the 1st and 10th.
- September 18: Payment for recipients born between the 11th and 20th.
- September 25: Payment for recipients born after the 20th.
- October 3: Payment date for recipients who:
- Receive both SSI and SSDI.
- Began receiving benefits before May 1997.
Reporting Changes to the SSA
If you’ve recently started working or your disability status has changed, you are required to report this to the SSA. Failing to inform the SSA could affect your benefits, and receiving payments you no longer qualify for may lead to complications.
SSDI payments follow a structured schedule, and recipients only receive one payment per month based on their birthdate.
If you did not receive your payment on September 11, check when your birthday falls and look forward to the September 18 or 25 payment dates.
Keep in mind the maximum SSDI benefit of $3,822 for 2024 and average payment amounts, while also considering additional SSI if your SSDI check is lower than expected.
