August 2024 SSDI and SSI Payment Schedule: Know Full Schedule & Payment Amount :- In August 2024, the Social Security Administration (SSA) will pay disability benefits on the following dates. For people who are qualified, these payments include Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI).
Here is a full list of the six payment dates for the month and who is qualified for each one.
1. August 1: SSI Payment
2. August 2: SSDI Payment for Long-Term Recipients
People who have been getting SSDI benefits since before May 1997 will get their payment on August 2. This date was moved up from the third of the month so that there are no delays over the weekend. This payment plan is only for people who have been getting disability benefits for at least 27 years.
3. August 14: SSDI Payment for Recipients Born 1st-10th
People who started getting SSDI benefits after April 30, 1997, and were born between January 1 and October 10 will get their payment on August 14. This group only looks at SSDI payments and doesn’t include people who get SSI.
4. August 21: SSDI Payment for Recipients Born 11th-20th
5. August 28: SSDI Payment for Recipients Born 21st-31st
If you were born between August 21 and August 31, you will get your SSDI payment on August 28. For people whose birth dates didn’t let them get earlier payments, this is the last day they can get SSDI in August.
6. August 30: SSI Payment for September
The last payment date is August 30 for SSI recipients who are getting their September payment early. The payment date falls on a Sunday, so this schedule makes sure that people get their money on the last work day of August.
