United States Social Security Disability Retirement checks will soon be reaching United States citizens who are waiting for a payment, although it is mandatory to meet certain requirements to obtain it. Unlike retirees with a benefit prior to May 1997, beneficiaries after that date need to meet an extra requirement in order to receive payment within the next 24 hours.
The Social Security divides the beneficiaries, whether for disability or for another type of benefit, into four different groups. The first of these groups is that of beneficiaries prior to May 1997, with retirees after that year being those who can receive payment on the second, third and fourth Wednesday of the month.
But each of these named Wednesdays has another additional requirement to take into account. Thus, retirees who applied for their benefit after May 1997 can only receive this next payment if their birthday falls between specific days. And what is most striking is that this Social Security payment could bring with it an increase.
Disability payments in the next 24 hours
Regardless of the amount we receive and whether the Fairness Act has had an effect on our monthly benefit, the Social Security Disability payment will arrive in 24 hours to a specific group of retirees. Meeting two requirements is enough to receive the monthly benefit in the checking account.
The two requirements to get the new check are:
- Have been receiving benefits since after May 1997.
- Your birthday must fall between the 11th and 20th of any given month.
Regarding the day of birth, it is important to note that neither the year of birth nor the month matter when it comes to determining whether we receive the check earlier or later. Only the specific day of birth determines whether we are in group 2, 3 or 4.
Also, remember that having Direct Deposit activated means we receive the payment on the same day it is sent, which in this specific case is March 19, 2025. If we meet all these conditions, we will receive the check without any problems, whatever the amount.
What is the increase in the Disability Benefit in March 2025?
The COLA means that benefits increase every year, so the payment for March 2025 is higher than that for March 2024. The payment of these benefits may even increase further in some cases due to the Fairness Act.
But what is certain is that the retirement check, whether for Disability or not, will be the same as in previous months of 2025, so we can take into account that we are facing a check that can reach $4,018 in the case of SSDI and $5,180 in the case of retirement due to age.
