Most of the time, Social Security Disability Insurance funds are sent out four times a month. This December will be no different, and people who get SSDI will start getting money on December 3 if they qualify.
On December 3, you had to have been getting disability payments since before May 1997 to get SSDI. You can also avoid this condition if you get Supplemental Security Income on November 29 and also get Social Security. In this case, you get both rewards at the same time, but on different days.
After December 3, SSDI will send a check for about $1,542
If you didn’t get the check or cash on the 3rd, you may get a payment from Social Security after this date. Social Security’s payment schedule showed that SSDI payouts will be made on:
The disability beneficiaries born between December 1 and December 10 will be on December 11. The disability beneficiaries born between December 11 and December 20 will be on December 18. And the disability beneficiaries born between December 21 and December 31 will be on December 24.
No one who gets Social Security Disability Insurance in December will get the 2025 COLA raise next month. The first people with disabilities to get it will do so on January 3, 2025.
The most and least you can get from SSDI
As of October 2024, the base check amount is only $1,542. The gap is big compared to the average payment for retirees, which is $1,927. People who worked hard and made a lot of money for most of their lives could get up to $3,822.
In fact, the most money that SSDI will pay out in December 2024 will be $3,822. To get it, you had to work for 35 years, file as early as SSA lets you so you don’t lose your benefits, earn the same amount of money each year for 35 years, and have had jobs that were covered by the Administration.
Keep in mind that you have to keep being qualified for Social Security Disability Insurance. So that you don’t get overpaid, let SSA know if your health gets better after surgery or something else.
