New Social Security Payouts Revealed: Retirees Could Get $2,829, SSDI Recipients Up to $1,960—Find Out If You're Eligible!

Social Security has announced the upcoming payment schedule for retirees and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) recipients. Eligible individuals can expect to see their payments deposited into their bank accounts soon.

Payment Date for September

According to the Social Security payment schedule, retirees and some SSDI recipients will receive their payments on September 18. This means that qualifying beneficiaries will receive their funds via direct deposit or check within 48 hours of this date.

For those receiving SSDI benefits, it is possible to receive your payout on the same day as retirees.

Who Qualifies for the September 18 Payment?

If you did not qualify for earlier payments this month but are a Social Security recipient, you may still be eligible to receive a payment on September 18, provided you meet the following criteria:

  • Your birthdate falls between the 11th and 20th of the month.
  • You do not receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
  • You did not receive SSDI or retirement benefits before May 1997.

Average Payment Amounts

The average payment for retired workers is approximately $1,920, while spouses receive an average of $909. Therefore, an eligible married couple could receive a combined payment of roughly $2,829. Similarly, an SSDI recipient and their spouse might receive a total of around $1,960, with workers receiving an average of $1,539 and spouses averaging $421.

September 25 Payment Date

If your birthdate falls between the 21st and 31st of the month, you may be eligible for the next payment on September 25. This payment applies to both retirees and SSDI recipients.

Application Process and Additional Support

To qualify for any Social Security payments, including SSDI or retirement benefits, you must first apply and receive approval from the Social Security Administration. If your payments are below the average amounts of $1,539 for SSDI recipients and $1,920 for retirees, you may experience slower disbursements.

In such cases, you are encouraged to apply for additional assistance through programs like Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). These programs can provide crucial support to improve your financial situation and help combat food insecurity.

For those who have been receiving benefits since before May 1997, the next scheduled payment from Social Security is set for October 3, 2024.
