July SSDI payments, new dates and amounts
SSDI benefits are only available to people who have a qualifying disability and have worked a minimum number of years. If you have not paid enough payroll taxes, you are not eligible to receive benefits.
However, you may be able to get Supplemental Security Income payments instead. Many low-income SSDI recipients qualify for SSI benefits while also receiving Social Security. The problem is that the payment dates may not be the same, and paydays can change.
SSDI payments for some disability recipients set to begin next week
The Social Security Administration expects payments to SSDI recipients to begin July 10. If you are an SSI recipient or received benefits before May 1997, you will not receive this check or direct deposit.
To be eligible for SSDI on the 10th, you must have been born on one of the first 10 days of the month, so if your birthday is between the 1st and 10th, your payday is the second Wednesday in July.
Beneficiaries with birthdays between the 11th and 20th will receive their disability benefits on July 17th. So, for beneficiaries born between the 21st and 31st, payment is due on July 24th.
Will I receive $1,537 from SSDI?
The amount of Social Security Disability Insurance you can receive depends on your work history and the age at which you file. Therefore, the amount each beneficiary receives will vary. The $1,537 you receive is the average payment you are eligible for.
Disability benefits are also available to other family members, such as spouses and children. Spouses of disabled workers receive an average benefit of $418. Children of disabled workers receive an average benefit of $494.
If you just qualified for disability insurance and are receiving a very low payment, you should also apply for SSI and SNAP benefits. It is possible to receive all three benefits at the same time. Report any changes in your personal circumstances, as they may affect your eligibility or the amount.
