The new Social Security Disability retirement payments will reach beneficiaries’ pockets in just one week. This payment is undoubtedly an economic relief for those who have no other source of income. Still, it is true that each beneficiary collects a different amount.
But regardless of the amount we get each month from Social Security Disability, the next check could be ours. In order to get it, you only need to meet two requirements, and one of those requirements is related to the year of retirement.
Qualifying for the next Social Security Disability payment
As we have previously commented, one of the requirements to take into account in order to get this new Social Security disability check is the year of retirement. In this sense, the type of benefit does not matter, but only the year in which we have applied for the check.
For that reason, the first filter we must pass to be eligible for the June 12th payment is to have the benefit since after May 1997. If we have had the check since then, the payment could be ours.
But there is one more filter that has to do with date of birth. Well, to be exact, it has to do with the day on which the beneficiary was born. To be eligible for this benefit, it is necessary to have been born between the 1st and 10th of any month. The month of birth does not matter. Nor does the year of birth matter, only the exact day.
Other Social Security Disability Payments
Social Security Disability beneficiaries in the United States also have access to an extra payment called Supplemental Security Income. However, not all SSDI beneficiaries can apply for this check. You must have a disability or be over 65 and have a low monthly income.
If we are under those requirements, we could apply for this extra check that grants up to $943 more each month. Having something like this can be very beneficial for the retiree, since it would give a great economic relief to the eligible citizen.
Even so, it is not mandatory to have an SSDI benefit to get this check. Rather, having a demonstrable disability is more than enough to apply for Supplemental Security Income each month.
