The Social Security Administration (SSA) is preparing to send out significant checks to specific SSDI recipients on July 17, 2024. If you or someone you know receives Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), here’s a straightforward guide to understanding who will get these payments and how to ensure timely receipt.
Who Receives SSDI Payments on July 17?
Group 3 Retirees
The SSA will issue checks to Group 3 retirees on July 17th. To qualify for this payment, you need to meet two primary conditions:
- Receiving Benefits Since May 1997: You must have been receiving Social Security benefits from May 1997 or later.
- Birthdate Between the 11th and 20th: Your birthday must fall between the 11th and 20th of any month.
If you meet these criteria, expect to receive your payment on July 17th.
Other Types of Benefits
Even if you don’t receive SSDI, you may still qualify for a payment if you receive other types of Social Security benefits. This includes age retirement, widow’s or widower’s benefits, and more. To qualify for the July 17th payment, you must still meet the two main criteria mentioned above.
Ensuring Timely Payments
To ensure you get your payment on time, it is essential to have Direct Deposit activated. Direct Deposit allows your money to be available in your bank account on the same day the SSA sends it. If you don’t have Direct Deposit, expect a slight delay, as you’ll have to wait a few more days for the check to arrive by mail.
Missing the July 17th Payment
If you do not meet the requirements for the July 17th payment, don’t worry. You might receive your check on July 24, 2024, instead. Ensure you meet all necessary criteria to avoid any delays in receiving your benefits.
Understanding these details can help you manage your finances better. Ensure you meet the eligibility requirements and have Direct Deposit set up to receive your SSDI check promptly.
