The new Social Security Disability retirement benefit will be reaching United States households in just a few days. This new check will be for those Americans who meet the Administration’s eligibility requirements.
Those eligibility requirements are only two, so it is relatively easy to be among the group of retirees who can access the check. It is also good to know that not only Disability retirees are eligible for the check, but other retirees can get it as well.
Disability beneficiaries who can collect the next check
In order to get this new Disability check, it is necessary to meet two requirements, as we have already mentioned. However, other retirees who do not meet these requirements can also get the benefit in the coming weeks.
Remember that the Administration sends out Social Security checks on up to 4 different days of the month. So no matter which group of retirees you belong to, you can get your check every month of the year, although on different days.
In this case, in order to get a disability check, your birthday must be between the 21st and 31st of any month. It is also important to have a retirement benefit from May 1997 onwards. If your check is after that date, you meet this requirement.
What is the maximum Social Security Disability check?
After adding the 2024 COLA, Social Security Disability checks have increased to a maximum of $3,822 per month. This means that any citizen who has such a check can have this maximum payment.
Still, the usual is that the payment is hovering around $1,800, although we are talking about an average payment. Each of the retirees, whether for Disability or for other reasons, has his or her own check. And this amount depends on several different factors.
In the case of having an Age Retirement check, the Social Security check can be as much as $4,873 in this year 2024. But it is also necessary to have maximized check during your working years in order to have such a high amount.
