The Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program offers American workers who have a qualifying disability and are unable to work vital financial support.
Benefits under the SSDI are available to people who have worked in employment covered by Social Security and have paid enough taxes into the system. The SSDI is administered by the Social Security Administration (SSA).
Let’s go over the important dates, qualifying requirements, and expected payment amounts if you’re wondering if you’ll get an SSDI payment this month.
Dates of Payment
The SSA has verified all SSDI direct deposit dates for September 2024. Your payment date may change depending on when you turned 65 or what day of the month your birthday falls on.
This is a brief overview of the forthcoming payment schedule:
September 3rd
Your September payment should have been paid on September 3 if you started receiving Social Security payments prior to May 1997, or if you receive both SSDI and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). It’s a good idea to make sure the money was deposited appropriately by checking your bank account.
September 11th
On September 11, SSDI beneficiaries who were born between the first and the tenth of the month will get their benefits.
September 18th
The SSDI payment will be deposited on September 18 for beneficiaries whose birthdays are between September 11 and September 20.
September 25th
You should anticipate receiving your SSDI payment on September 25 if your birthday falls between the 21st and the 31st.
You won’t get any of these payments if you haven’t applied for SSDI benefits yet or if the SSA hasn’t accepted your application. SSDI benefits are only available to those who have received official approval from Social Security.

To what extent is this possible?
As of September 2024, the average SSDI benefit is almost $1,538 per month. The precise amount you get, however, may differ depending on your past work history and the length of time you made Social Security contributions prior to becoming incapacitated.
The monthly payment might reach $3,822 for individuals who met certain standards and earned the maximum taxed income for 35 years.

Require More Assistance?
Should your SSDI benefits fall short of your expectations and you find it difficult to cover your expenses, you may want to apply for Supplemental Security Income (SSI). For those who meet the requirements, SSI can offer up to $943 per month in additional support.
