United States Social Security beneficiaries with a disability are in luck. Thousands of them will be able to get a new check in just a few days. And to get this new check, only two requirements must be met. If both requirements are met, the payment will arrive in the checking account in just a few days.
However, if a retiree does not meet these requirements but does have the benefit accepted, then he or she will get his or her check on one of the other days of the month. However, since this payment is the last one for age-based retirees, the payment should already be in the beneficiary’s checking account. With this in mind, we may need to check our checking account, since the money may already be available.
But if you think you are part of retiree group 4, you should check the requirements. Only if you are part of this group will you be able to collect the Disability benefit next May 22nd, 2024. This will be the last day for retirees for the entire month, although there is an extra payment on the 31st day only for eligible Americans who meet different requirements.
What are the mandatory requirements for the May 22nd Disability payment?
Obviously, the first of the requirements will be having an accepted Disability benefit. But not only SSDI recipients can get this check. This benefit payment is for all retirees who expect to get a Social Security payment. The type of benefit does not matter in order to get this check.
Thus, the two requirements that are mandatory are:
- Birthday between the 21st and 31st of any month. Neither the year of birth nor the month of birth matters for the collection of this payment.
- Have a disability benefit since after May 1997. SSDI or any other Social Security check, of course.
Also, by activating Direct Deposit as the collection method we will have the payment immediately as soon as the Social Security Administration sends it. This is important, because if we do not activate this collection method, the Disability payment will arrive within a few days from the time the Administration sends it.
