The timing of United States Social Security Disability payments sometimes brings surprises in the payment of checks. But currently, in the month of May 2024, some of the beneficiaries have already had the benefit available. However, some still have to wait, so it is possible that in the next week they will have this month’s check available by surprise.
In order to find out if we are eligible to get next payday’s Social Security Disability check we need to look at the requirements. Just meeting two requirements will be enough to determine whether or not the payment will reach our pocket. Also, if we are not eligible to get the money on this day it will mean that the payment should already be in our checking account.
Either way, the important thing is that each month we are going to get a Social Security Disability Insurance payment so that we can use it for whatever we need. This SSDI check can be for a maximum of $3,822 in May 2024. This maximum amount is a record, as no check has ever reached such a high amount under SSDI.
Eligibility requirements to get the next disability payment
The last of the May Social Security Disability payments will leave the Administration’s offices on May 22nd. On this day, all eligible beneficiaries who have Direct Deposit activated will be able to enjoy the benefit the instant the Administration sends it. If we are eligible but do not have Direct Deposit, it will take a few days for the money to appear.
To be eligible for this Social Security check we need to meet two requirements. First, we must have been receiving a retirement benefit, regardless of whether it is a Disability or not, since after May 1997. The second requirement is to have a birthday between the 21st and 31st of any month. This is the only way to be eligible for the May 22nd benefit.
Remember that the maximum check is $3,822, but that does not imply that all beneficiaries will have such an amount. Each retiree has a different check that depends on his or her work history. Likewise, we must also remember that the May 22nd payment is not only for Disability retirees, but for all types of retirees who have an active benefit and meet the aforementioned requirements.
