The organization of the mailing of SSDI checks in the United States has one great advantage. The benefits of this type of Social Security payments always arrive on the same days to the beneficiaries. This means that knowing the payment schedule will give us a great advantage over not knowing the schedule.
If we know exactly when the SSDI payment is sent, we will be able to organize our household finances well. At the end of the day, we just need to know a little bit about our personal information to know the exact day we can expect to collect our benefit. With a little organization, it is possible to have greater financial stability in this regard.
When does the government send out the new SSDI check?
The new SSDI checks will be mailed in just one week. The exact day of the mailing of this benefit will be on May 22nd. This payment will be the last of the retirement checks for this month of May 2024. Undoubtedly, getting this payment can make a big difference in the economy of many beneficiaries.
In order to get this check we have to meet two requirements. The first is to have a Social Security benefit, whether it is SSDI or not, since after May 1997. The second requirement is to have a birthday between the 21st and 31st of any month. Only then will we get the May 22nd payment and be able to use it for whatever we need.
Extra payments for SSDI beneficiaries in May
In addition to this payment, SSDI beneficiaries could have an extra check on the upcoming 31st day of May. While it is true that the May 22nd check is the last of the retirement checks for the month, we may get an additional Supplemental Security Income payment after that.
To get this benefit we only need to have SSI activated and accepted in advance. The payment on the 31st is not really an extra payment, but an advance payment for the 1st of June, since that day is a weekend.
After that, the important thing is to have Direct Deposit activated in order to get the payment the same day it is sent. If we do not have it activated, the money will arrive anyway, but a few days later. So we will not receive the payment early, but in June. Remember also that it is not necessary to have SSDI to be able to access Supplemental Security Income, but both are compatible.
