SSDI September 2024: The Last Round of Checks Are Headed Out


The last round of Social Security Disability Insurance checks are headed out in just a few days. When you receive your check depends on different factors, like what day of the month you were born, the length of time you’ve been receiving benefits or if you receive multiple Social Security benefits. If you’re unsure when to expect your check, we’ll lay out all the details for you. 

Through SSDI, the Social Security Administration sends monthly payments to people who have a disability that stops or limits their ability to work. Read on for the September 2024 payout schedule and how your payment date is determined.

Payment schedule if you’ve had SSDI since May 1997 or earlier

If you started getting SSDI before May 1997, you’d usually receive your payment on the third day of every month. Note that this isn’t always the case, like when the third day falls on a weekend or holiday. This past March was such a month, and SSDI recipients received their payments two days earlier, on the first day of the month. 

For everyone else, payments are birthdate-dependent 

If you began receiving SSDI after May 1997, then your payment date is determined by the day of the month you were born. Payments are typically paid out on the second, third and fourth Wednesday of the month. Which Wednesday you get your check breaks down like this:
