SSDI payments and eligibility for first checks for disability recipients in July
SSDI payments start on July 3rd, but there are three more different payments coming next month: To get money from Social Security on July 3rd, you must be either a retiree or on SSDI.
SSDI recipients are eligible for disability insurance benefits on July 3 if they also receive SSI benefits. If you are not receiving SSI benefits, you may still be eligible, but you must have received benefits before May 1997.
Not eligible for SSDI on July 3rd
If you don’t qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance on July 3, your second early payment will be July 10. However, the way you qualify is quite different.
In this case, you cannot be eligible for SSI as of the July 3 payment, and you also cannot have received disability benefits before May 1997. Instead, the SSA will check your date of birth.
If you were born between the 1st and 10th, you’ll be eligible for a check or direct deposit on July 10. So if your birthday is between the 1st and 10th and you received benefits after April 30, 1997, get ready to get your money from Social Security.
SSDI amount for July 3 and July 10
Social Security Disability Insurance can pay up to $3,822 on both July 3 and July 10. However, it is highly unlikely that this high amount will be paid out because the disability will prevent the worker from working before reaching full retirement age or for 35 years.
These can significantly reduce your payment. In fact, the average SSDI payment is $1,537. Disability insurance can also pay spouses and children if they qualify. Not only are workers eligible if they meet the strict definition of disability and have sufficient work credits.
Spouses of disabled workers can receive an average of about $418. Children of disabled workers can receive about $494. So it will be very helpful for the family’s financial situation. Mid-July and late-July payments will also be delivered to SSDI recipients on July 17 and July 24.
