The increase in the annual COLA for United States Disability payments results in each beneficiary getting a larger monthly check. And in the case of the March 2024 payments we find this COLA added over the previous year’s payments.
Thus, a Disability payment recipient gets a check with more money in this March 2024 than in the month of March 2023. The ultimate goal of this COLA is none other than to ensure that retirement beneficiaries do not lose purchasing power.
In the case of Disability beneficiaries we can state that in the month of March they can still get a check. If you have not collected your Social Security benefit this month, it means that you could get it very soon. At the end of the day, the Administration sends out a total of 4 different checks.
What Disability payments will be arriving in the next few days in March?
The March Disability check payments will arrive in the next few days to only one specific group of Americans. This group is the group of beneficiaries with birthdays between the 21st and 31st of the month. Also, one more requirement must be met in order to get this new check.
Therefore, there are two requirements that must be met in order to collect the next day’s payment. In addition to the aforementioned birthday requirement, it is also necessary to have requested the payment after May 1997.
Only by meeting both of these requirements will we be able to get the March 27th Social Security Disability payment. After this check, there will be no new checks this month, but we will have to wait until April to get one of the new retirement payments.
Can I collect two Social Security payments per month?
While it is true that some beneficiaries may get two payments from the Social Security Administration per month, the truth is that the two payments are different categories. On the one hand, the Supplemental Security Income. On the other hand, the Disability or other retirement payment.
Yes, we can collect one of each of these payments, but not two checks from the same category. That is, we cannot get two retirement payments or two Supplemental Security Income payments.
In short, we can get the Supplemental Security Income payment on March 1st and the retirement payment on one of the other days, depending on which Disability group we belong to.
