When a United States citizen applies for monthly Social Security retirement, whether for Disability or some other reason, he or she may know an approximate date when he or she will get his or her payment each month. What is certain is that once you apply for the monthly payment you will get it every month without any problems.
It is possible that sometimes the payment may come a little later or a little earlier, but Disability beneficiaries can rest assured that they will get their check every month of the year. In addition, it is possible to collect an extra payment if Supplemental Security Income is activated.
In any case, the important thing is that on May 22nd, the Social Security Administration will send the new Disability payment to Social Security retirees. The payments on this day will only be for a specific group of Americans. If you do not meet certain requirements, you will not be part of this group.
If you are not part of this group, you have nothing to worry about. It is possible that the money is already available in our current account. After all, the May 22nd payment is the last payment of the month for Disability beneficiaries.
Eligibility requirements to get the May 22nd Disability Benefit
Regardless of the amount we receive each month for the Disability check, on May 22nd we will get it only if we meet two requirements. To receive this payment we must be part of retiree group 4. This is the last group of the month.
Thus, beneficiaries who have a benefit after May 1997 and have a birthday between the 21st and 31st of any month will have access to the payment. This group always collects on the fourth Wednesday of the month, with very few exceptions.
In addition to all that, we should note that this Social Security Disability payment is higher than last year 2023. And is that the COLA has made the May payment of the previous year has increased by 3.2% in this month of May 2024, as well as in the rest of the months of the year.
