WFCN –
SSDI payments will continue arriving on September 18, 2024. Social Security Disability Insurance payments will be due in about 5 days for those citizens who qualify because they have a disability and have worked enough to get approval from the Administration.
What is more, you must comply with the birth date requirement to get money on September 18, 2024. So, only those recipients who have been born on a specific date will receive money from Social Security.
Requirement to get Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) on Sep. 18
As a matter of fact, eligible recipients must have been born from the 11th to the 20th of any month. If you also meet this essential requirement, apart from having a disability and getting SSA’s approval, you will receive money on the 18th.
Those who are SSDI recipients but do not qualify for the payment on the 18th and have not received their payment in September may get money from SSA on September 25.
Once more, your birthday will be the essential requirement to determine eligibility for the last SSDI payment in September. Were you born from the 21st to the 31st? If so, the last payment on September 25 will be yours.

That is the average SSDI check as of August 2024. Some eligible recipients can get up to $3,822, but that is very unlikely since they may have not been able to work for many years due to their disability.
The remaining SSDI payments in 2024 will be issued by SSA on:
- September 18
- September 25
- October 3, 9, 16, 23
- November 1, 13, 20, 27
- December 3, 11, 18, 24
The first payment of the month will be for SSDI recipients who have been on benefits before May 1997. To get money on the third you can also be receiving Supplemental Security Income payments. The Wednesday payments will be for those whose birthdays are from 1-10, 11-20 and 21-31 respectively.
What are the specific criteria for determining eligibility for SSDI payments?
- You have a disability that is expected to last at least one year or result in death. The disability must significantly limit your ability to do basic work activities.
- You are unable to engage in substantial gainful activity (SGA) due to your medical condition. In 2024, SGA is defined as earning more than $1,550 per month, or $2,590 per month if you are blind.
- You have sufficient work credits based on your age and work history. Generally, you need to have worked for at least 5 of the last 10 years, but younger workers may qualify with fewer credits.
What should I do if I believe I qualify for SSDI but have not received my payment?
To check your claim and payments, contact the Social Security Administration (SSA). Call 1-800-772-1213 or visit your local office. Have your Social Security number and claim or appeal details ready.
If you were recently approved for SSDI benefits, note that under the law, payments can’t begin until you have been disabled for at least 5 full months. Payments usually start with your 6th month of disability. The SSA notice approving your claim should explain when your payments will start.
If your SSDI benefits were recently denied and you’re appealing, do so online at [www.ssa.gov/disability/appeal](http://www.ssa.gov/disability/appeal) or call for an appeal form (SSA-561). You must appeal in writing within 60 days of the denial notice.
While waiting for a decision or payment, you might qualify for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) if your income and resources are limited. Contact the SSA to check your SSI eligibility.
Be sure the SSA has your current contact and direct deposit information. If you move, immediately update your address with the SSA. Also verify they have your correct bank account information for depositing your payments. You can update your information through your my Social Security account online.
