Eligible recipients of Social Security Disability Insurance will begin to receive their checks, worth up to $3,345, on Wednesday.
People whose birthdays fall on the first through the 10th of September are set to receive their SSDI payments today, according to the Social Security Administration. The SSDI only supports people who are disabled and have a qualifying work history.
Recipients who are eligible for SSDI payments typically receive benefits six months after receiving a diagnosis of a disability. The average monthly payment is $1,223 as of January 2022, and the maximum, based on work history, is $3,345.
STIMULUS UPDATE: DEADLINE FOR $1,000 ONE-TIME DIRECT CHECK PAYMENT IS TOMORROW
The SSA defines a disability as something that inhibits one’s ability to carry out job responsibilities and how long the condition has affected the candidate. Applicants are required to submit medical records in order to be eligible for disability benefits, meaning that short-term or partial disabilities do not qualify a candidate for SSDI assistance.
Disability insurance recipients may also qualify for SSI if they have limited resources or income and can prove a work history, according to the SSA.
