Despite the fact that the United States Social Security payment schedule follows rules for sending SSDI and SSI checks, the truth is that we sometimes encounter irregularities. And these irregularities are not negative most of the time, but it is true that they do change the financial planning of some households a bit.
So it’s always a good idea to keep in mind the time of the month when we will get each of our retirement checks. When all is said and done, there are up to 4 different days when the Social Security Administration sends out SSDI checks and only 1 SSI payment.
And in the month of May there is an irregularity in this regard, which results in SSDI retirees not getting SSI in June, but a little earlier. That said, a few days later the Disability and other retirement payments arrive, which means that in less than a week we can get two different checks. But it is necessary to be eligible for all checks if we want to have the money available.
Who gets the next SSDI and SSI payments?
The collection days for both checks are important. On the one hand, we have the SSDI payment and on the other hand we have the SSI check. The two payments are separate, but compatible. This makes it possible for the same retiree to get both payments without any problems.
Thus, the payment schedule for the next checks are:
- May 31st. SSI payment for the month of June. The payment of this benefit comes early because June 1st is a weekend. For this reason, retirees with this type of check get their monthly benefit earlier.
- June 3rd. SSDI check for beneficiaries with a benefit earned before May 1997. All retirees who meet this requirement can get this monthly check.
The maximum SSI payment is $943 per month, while the maximum SSDI payment is $3,822 each month. However, each beneficiary has a different type of check, so the amount will depend on several factors.
Also, we must remember that the calendar day named above corresponds to the day on which the Social Security Administration sends out checks. The day on which the money is available to retirees depends on the collection method chosen. If Direct Deposit is chosen, the money will appear immediately in the checking account.
