A government program called Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) provides financial assistance to those who are unable to work due to a qualifying disability. This is who will be paid on December 18th, as it operates on a monthly basis.
A person’s work history and the Social Security taxes they paid under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) determine their eligibility for SSDI payments.The Social Security Administration is in charge of them.
The Act requires employers, employees, and independent contractors to contribute a part of their earnings to the Social Security Trust Fund. About 8.3 million individuals, including handicapped workers, spouses, and children, rely on this fund to pay for their retirement and disability benefits.
Who will be paid on Wednesday, December 18?
The amount that an SSDI claimant receives each month is determined by their average income before to being disabled. This is computed by applying a formula to the employee’s insured wages and then accounting for inflation.
They are distributed on three different dates, one between the first and the 31st of every month of the year, after being computed using the beneficiary’s birthdate.
The second Wednesday of each month is when people who were born between the first and the tenth of that month are paid. On December 11, that occurred.
The third Wednesday of each month, which is December 18, is pay day. Those born between November 11 and December 20 are eligible.
Lastly, the fourth Wednesday of each month is often when those born between the 21st and the 31st of the month receive their paychecks. However, the payment date has been moved to Tuesday, December 24 due to the fact that today is Christmas Day.
Social Security benefits should have been paid on December 3 to anyone who received them prior to 1997, resided outside of the US, received both Social Security and SSI benefits, or had their Medicare premiums covered by the government.
To find out what happened, you should contact the Social Security Administration immediately if you haven’t already.
