The Social Security Administration is now sending out December Social Security Disability Insurance payments. So far, only one round has gone out, with another expected next week. When you get your money depends on when you started receiving SSDI, as well as the day your birthday falls on. In addition, if you receive Supplemental Security Income, that payment should have arrived on Dec. 1.
Below, we’ve listed out the dates for when your SSDI money could arrive. Note that SSDI is paid out on the same day as the Social Security payments. For more, here’s what we know about the COLA increase coming in 2024.
Payment schedule if you’ve received SSDI since 1997 or earlier
If you’ve been an SSDI recipient since May 1997 or before, your payment should arrive on the third day of every month.
There are exceptions to note. If the third day of the month falls on a weekend or holiday, you’ll get your payment on the nearest business day. For example, Dec. 3 fell on a Sunday, so beneficiaries received their payments on Friday, Dec. 1.
