Getting one of your monthly Social Security Disability benefit payments is always good news. The United States Benefits Administration can still send out one more check before the end of February. And thousands of Americans will get this new benefit.
In order to collect this disability check, we must meet two requirements. So by simply meeting those two conditions we will have access to the payment of up to $3,822 from Social Security. Even so, the rest of the beneficiaries can also get the payment. Not only SSDI beneficiaries collect this benefit.
The requirements do not include having a disability benefit. It is possible to collect it, but it is not mandatory for this type of retirement benefit. Both old-age and widow/widower retirement beneficiaries, for example, can get this new payment.
Thus, any retiree who is a Group 4 beneficiary gets this payment from Social Security. Both disability retirees and other beneficiaries who have a disability benefit are eligible for this payment. This is true as long as they meet both requirements.
Requirements for the last Disability payment in February
The payment day for this benefit will be February 28th. This will be the last Wednesday of the month. So if you have an accepted benefit and have not yet received it, it is possible that you will get a check on that particular day.
Therefore, the requirements to get this Disability benefit are:
- Have a birthday between the 21st and 31st of any month.
- Have been receiving Social Security benefits since after 1997.
This is the only way to get the benefit on this day. So your disability or age retirement check will arrive on the 28th day if you meet these requirements. However, you must activate Direct Deposit to receive your benefit on the same day it is sent.
Americans who do not activate Direct Deposit as a collection method will also get their money, but a little later. Payments without this collection method are paid a few days later. In these cases, the money usually arrives two or three days later than if Direct Deposit is activated.
After this payment we will have to wait until March to get a new payment. Also, if you have Supplemental Security Income, you may get it this week. The Social Security Administration will send out this extra payment for Disability beneficiaries on March 1st.
