Thousands of Americans who are Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or VA beneficiaries are set to receive checks averaging $1,907. These new checks are only accessible to individuals who meet specific requirements based on their retirement group. The Social Security Administration sends SSDI checks to four different groups of retirees, with varying payment amounts and collection dates.
To be eligible for the upcoming check on April 17, 2024, individuals must have a birthday between the 11th and 20th of any month and have started receiving benefits from May 1997. Those who do not meet these criteria will have to collect their benefit on a different date, potentially in April or May. The SSDI and VA checks are also compatible with an additional benefit called Supplemental Security Income, which can provide up to $943 per month to eligible individuals.
The Supplemental Security Income payment is available to individuals aged 65 or older, or those with a disability, who have low resources and monthly income. This extra benefit can be received on the 1st of each month, providing additional financial support to those who qualify. Overall, these checks play a crucial role in supplementing retirement payments for many families who rely on assistance from the Social Security Administration.
