Many Americans with disabilities depend on SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) checks to cover their living expenses. Managed by the Social Security Administration (SSA), these benefits provide crucial support. Let’s take a closer look at SSDI payments for July 2024 and what you need to know.
What is SSDI?
SSDI helps people who can’t work due to disabilities. It also supports families when the main earner passes away. The SSA manages these benefits, which assist millions of Americans in need.
Who Gets SSDI?
To qualify for SSDI, you need to meet certain conditions:
Disability
You must have a condition that prevents you from working for at least a year or could lead to death.
Work History
You need to have paid payroll taxes.
Additional Income
SSDI might not cover all your expenses, so it’s a good idea to look for extra income sources if needed.
SSDI and SSI
Some people might qualify for both SSDI and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Although these programs aim to help people with disabilities, they have different goals. You don’t need separate applications for both, but SSI benefits depend on your monthly income.
July 2024 SSDI Payment Dates
SSDI payments are made three times a month based on your birth date:
- Second Wednesday (July 10th): For those born between the 1st and 10th.
- Third Wednesday (July 17th): For those born between the 11th and 20th.
- Fourth Wednesday (July 24th): For those born between the 21st and 31st.
How Much Will You Get?
