In order to determine on which day we will receive our disability payment from the Social Security Administration we need to know several facts. In addition to that, we also have to meet some requirements as a United States citizen with a benefit. If we do not meet these requirements and if we do not know all the facts, we may not be able to know exactly when we will receive our next disability benefit payment.
Even so, it is true that sometimes we simply do not need to know the day. If our finances are well balanced, knowing the exact day the Social Security Administration will send the next disability payment won’t matter as much. The ideal in these cases is to have money saved so that we can pay the bills in advance.
If we can’t pay the bills in advance, we may have a problem. So we need to consider this in the event that we can’t do it. Still, in order to know when we will receive our next Social Security disability check, we just need to keep a few things in mind. Do you know when you will receive your next Social Security disability payment?
How do I know when the next disability benefit will arrive?
First and foremost in determining when you will receive your disability benefit is to have one of these payments accepted. This is important, because until we get all the documents that entitle us to receive this benefit, we cannot plan for it.
In the event that the Social Security Administration has already sent us the acceptance of the disability benefit, we must pay attention to 2 basic elements to determine on what day we will receive the check.
The first of these elements is the year of retirement. If we are still waiting to receive the acceptance letter from Social Security, this does not really affect us. Pre-1997 retirees receive the first payment of the month. This is usually on the 3rd of the month.
However, if our disability benefit check has not yet been accepted, our disability benefit will be after 1997. Therefore, the payment will arrive on the second, third or fourth Wednesday of the month.
- Second Wednesday of the month. Collection day for retirees born between the 1st and 10th of the month.
- Third Wednesday of the month. Payments for retirees with birthdays between the 11th and 20th of the month arrive on this day.
- Fourth Wednesday of the month. Retirees with a disability benefit with birthdays between the 21st and 31st of the month are paid on this day.
In the upcoming month of July, for example, the payment days are the 3rd for pre-1997 retirees, and the 12th, 19th and 26th for the rest. With this information it is much easier to have a good financial organization and to know on which day we will receive our benefit.
