One of the sure things in the United States is that each month the Social Security Administration will send a new check to the beneficiaries for Disability. Mind you, the beneficiaries must have the check accepted beforehand and not be in the process of acceptance.
But if you have an accepted retirement check, whether for Disability or otherwise, in just a few days you will be able to enjoy a retirement check. Not only that, but Social Security may send you up to two different checks if you qualify.
Of course, each of these checks are totally independent, which means that the retirement payment is on one day and the extra check is on another. What is certain is that most disability beneficiaries will be able to collect this extra payment.
Supplemental Security Income is the extra payment that Social Security sends out every month. And that extra is available to many citizens with a disability who don’t know they can apply for it. So check the requirements to find out if you will be able to get it in the next few days.
Eligibility for two Disability checks in the 1st week of April
First of all, we need to make sure our Social Security benefit is accepted. If it is, we already have the first thing we need to do. If it is, we just need to look at what the requirements are for collection on April 3rd.
And for that we only need to meet one requirement. That requirement is to have a Disability payment since before May 1997. This means that any beneficiary who applied for payment after that date will collect his or her benefit a little later.
Also, on April 1st, the Social Security Administration will send out the extra Supplemental Security Income payment. The requirements for this monthly payment are that you must be 65 years of age or older or have a disability, as well as low income and low monthly earnings.
If we meet all of these requirements, the payment from these two checks will be sent to our checking account. The maximum Social Security Disability payment is $3,822 in 2024 and the Supplemental Security Income payment can reach $943 per month.
