Following the schedule of Social Security Disability Income payments is a very easy task in the United States. This is because pensioner-related payments always follow a pre-established schedule. Well, they don’t always follow this scheme, as sometimes there are irregularities that change the arrangement of payment days a little or completely.
And in the month of September we encountered as many as two changes for payments for Social Security disability beneficiaries. So, if you have a benefit you will be interested to know that you will probably encounter a change or two within next month’s benefits. In order to have good financial organization in the household it is advisable to look at the changes in benefit mailing days.
This also affects retirees without a disability. Especially one group in particular. Even so, these changes are not permanent, but are only circumstantial and do not usually occur. However, knowing ahead of time helps retirees a lot to know if they need to make any new strategies within their household finances.
DISABILITY INCOME CHANGES IN SEPTEMBER 2023
The changes in Disability Income payments are directly related to pensions. Similarly, there are also changes to Supplemental Security Income. This is because from this second extra benefit we may receive two different checks within the month.
As for the change that can change the plans, we are talking about the first payment of the month. This payment usually arrives on the 3rd of each month. At least the Social Security Administration sends checks on that day. But this September, the 3rd day of the month is a weekend. This makes the payment on the 1st of September.
What seems like an advantage can be a negative. The 1st of September is Friday. And if we have Direct Deposit, there is no problem with the Disability check. However, without this collection method, the payment might take a little longer. Since right after the payment day there is a weekend, the money may take a couple of days longer to arrive.
To avoid this unpleasant situation it is better to activate Direct Deposit. Also, if we know this in advance we can save some money from the previous month to be able to have enough money for our monthly bills.
