After the Social Security payment on December 3, there will be 3 more paydays for SSDI recipients who qualify. At least, if you received the Disability Insurance payment on December 3 you may still qualify for an SSI check on December 31, 2024.
Those who have not received the SSDI payment yet could get their money on December 11, 18, or 24. Usually, these payments are on the second, third, and fourth Wednesday in December. However, the Social Security Administration has announced an important change this month.
Not all SSDI payments will be issued on Wednesdays
The Agency has confirmed that the third Wednesday payment will be due on Tuesday. That means disability benefits will be sent on the previous business day since December 25 is a Federal Holiday.
The other two SSDI payments will be delivered to eligible recipients’ accounts on Wednesday, December 11, and Wednesday, December 18. Remember that the eligibility for these monthly payments will depend on when you were born.
To get SSDI payments after December 3:
- disability payment due on December 11 if you were born from 1-10
- disability payment due on December 18 if you were born from 11-20
- disability payment due on December 24 if you were born from 21-31
Will you receive $1,542 from your next SSDI payment?
Well, every single recipient has a different payment amount. This is because you may have worked for a specific number of years, your earnings may also be different and the age you filed for SSDI may also differ.
Social Security Announces December Payment Date Change Because of Christmas
Do not forget that a Social Security Disability Insurance payment can be up to $3,822 in 2024. After the 2025 COLA increase, it will become $4,018. Obviously, this will be the maximum disability benefit for those who were really high earners as workers.
The 2025 COLA increase of 2.5% will be issued on January 3, 8, 15, and 22. So, none of the December payments will include the 2025 COLA boost. The average payment for SSDI will be $1,542, but that does not mean you will get that amount, in fact, it could be either lower or higher.
