5 days to receive your next SSDI payment of $1,542 from Social Security

Payments for Social Security Disability Insurance are normally made on four different paydays per month. There won’t be an exemption next December, as SSDI beneficiaries who fulfill the eligibility standards will start receiving benefits on December 3.

Disability benefits must have been received prior to May 1997 in order to qualify for SSDI on December 3. If you get Supplemental Security Income on November 29 and are also receiving Social Security, you may also be able to avoid this requirement. Thus, you get both benefits simultaneously, albeit on different days.

SSDI payment of about $1,542 after December 3

You might still receive a Social Security payment after the third if you were not eligible for the check or deposit on that day. Actually, according to Social Security’s payment schedule, SSDI benefits will be paid on:

• December 11: disability beneficiaries whose birth date is from the 1st to the 10th
• December 18: disability beneficiaries whose birth date is from the 11th to the 20th
• December 24: disability beneficiaries whose birth date is from the 21st to the 31st

The 2025COLA increase will be applied to any Social Security Disability Insurance payments that were made in December. It will be distributed to the first disability recipients on January 3, 2025.

SSDI maximum amounts and average checks

As of October 2024, the average check is just $1,542. The difference between this and the average retirement pension of $1,927 is substantial. Individuals who met all SSA requirements and were high earners for the majority of their job could get up to $3,822.

In fact, the highest SSDI benefit award in December 2024 will be $3,822. You must have earned the contribution and benefit base for 35 years, worked for 35 years, filed as soon as SSA permits to prevent a reduction, and held administration-covered positions in order to be eligible.

Remember that you need to continue to be eligible to receive benefits from Social Security Disability Insurance. Notify the Social Security Administration of any improvements in your health brought on by surgery or other causes to prevent overpayments.
