Social Security benefits are paid monthly to people who are disabled or can’t work to help them cover the essential costs of living like rent or mortgage, utilities, and food.

The Social Security Administration has a set Social Security benefit payment schedule so that people who receive benefits will know when they will receive their benefits.

It’s important for anyone who is getting Social Security benefit payments in July 2024 to know the Social Security benefit payment schedule. Knowing when your benefits will arrive will make it easier for you to create a monthly budget and make sure that your bills are paid on time.

Types of Social Security Benefits

Social Security disability benefits are just one type of benefit that people receive. You may receive Social Security disability benefits and still be eligible for other benefits from the Social Security Administration. The different types of Social Security benefits are:

Retirement Benefits

Social Security retirement benefits are available to anyone who has worked and paid into Social Security through their pay deductions. You must have earned at least 40 work credits in your working years to qualify for Social Security retirement benefits.

You can start drawing Social Security retirements at age 62, but you won’t get the full amount of the benefit if you do. In order to get the maximum benefit amount you should wait until you are 70.

If you were a stay-at-home spouse and didn’t work you may be eligible for Social Security retirement benefits based on the earnings of your spouse. If you’re divorced now, but you were married for at least 10 years, and you have not remarried you can claim Social Security retirement benefits based on your former spouse’s earnings.

Disability Benefits (SSDI)

SSDI or Social Security disability benefits are available to anyone who has worked but can’t work now because they have a medical condition that makes it impossible for them to work. To be approved for Social Security disability benefits, you will need to (1) properly apply for benefits, and (2) show the SSA that you have a medical condition that is recognized by them as disabling.

There are more than 200 different physical and mental illnesses and conditions that qualify for Social Security disability benefits. You can find a listing of all the conditions recognized by the SSA and the requirements that you must meet to get disability benefits with those conditions on the SSA’s website in the Blue Book.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI)

SSI or Supplemental Security Income is a benefit that is paid to adults who have never been able to work because of a disability or medical condition. Children can apply for SSI just before they turn 18 so that they will be able to financially take care of themselves.

If you’re a parent of a child who is disabled or has a severe illness you can apply for SSI on behalf of your child. But you must use the money from SSI only for the child’s expenses and document how the money is spent.

If you’re a parent applying for benefits on behalf of a child, you will need to show that your household income falls below the income set by the SSA. When you apply for SSI, you will need to submit a W-2 or tax return for every adult in the household who works full-time to show what the total household income is.

Survivor Benefits

When a worker passes away their spouse and children may be entitled to survivor benefits. Children can receive survivor benefits if they are under 18, or over 19 and still in high school, or if they are an adult that was disabled before they turned 22. Adopted children and stepchildren qualify for survivor benefits too.

Spouses who are 50 or older and disabled can receive survivor benefits. Spouses who are 60 or older and not disabled can also qualify for survivor benefits. If a deceased worker’s parents are elderly and depend on the worker for 50% or more of their income, they can also qualify for survivor benefits.

Overview of Social Security Payment Schedule

The Social Security benefit schedule for 2024 doesn’t change much from month to month. That’s because the schedule is determined by the type of benefit that you receive and the birthdate of the person whose name the benefit is under.

If you’re receiving benefits for yourself, your benefit payment date will be based on your birthdate. However, if you’re receiving survivor benefits, the benefit payment date will depend on the birthdate of the deceased worker.

If you’re receiving SSI for yourself or a child, you will always receive SSI at the beginning of the month regardless of your birthdate or the child’s birthdate.

Payment Dates for July 2024

Social Security benefit payment dates for July 2024 fall on:

• Tuesday, July 1st
• Thursday, July 3rd
• Wednesday, July 10th
• Wednesday, July 17th
• Wednesday, July 24th

Depending on what your birth date is in the month that you were born—and what type of benefit you’re receiving—if you are due to receive Social Security benefits, you will receive them on one of those dates.

July 2024 Payment Dates for People Receiving Both SSI & Social Security Retirement Benefits. If you are receiving SSI and Social Security retirement benefits, or if you started receiving SSI before 1997, you will receive your July 2024 SSI payment on Thursday, July 3rd.

July 2024 Payment Dates for All Other Social Security Benefits. And, for anyone receiving other types of Social Security benefits, the July 2024 Social Security benefit payment schedule is:

• Wednesday, July 10th – If your birthdate is the 1st-10th of the month.
• Wednesday, July 17th - If your birthdate is the 11th-20th of the month.
• Wednesday, July 24th - If your birthdate is 21st -31st of the month.

If you’re not sure what date your benefits should arrive you can also check your account on the Social Security Administration’s website.

Payment Methods

In the past, the Social Security Administration (SSA) gave people a choice of receiving a paper check or getting their benefits directly deposited into their bank accounts. Now the SSA only does direct deposit. The Social Security Administration no longer sends physical checks to benefit recipients.

If you don’t have a bank account or don’t want to use a bank account, your Social Security benefit money can be directly deposited onto the SSA’s Direct Express® card. You must sign up for the Direct Express® card on the SSA’s website and choose to have your money deposited onto the card.

You can use the Direct Express® card like a debit or credit card. It can be used to pay bills directly or to withdraw cash at an ATM. If you have your funds deposited into your bank account or onto a Direct Express® card, they should arrive the morning of the date that you are due to receive them.

Important Considerations

The amount of money that you receive for your monthly Social Security benefit should be the same as previous months. Cost-of-Living-Adjustments are only made once a year, at the beginning of the year, so the amount of benefit should remain the same until 20225.

Holidays can sometimes impact when Social Security benefits are received. In July there is one major holiday, the July 4th Independence Day holiday, but that should not impact the paying of Social Security benefits. You should receive your Social Security benefits in July 2024 on time.

If you want to double-check what date you can expect your Social Security benefit payment the best way to do that is to go into your account on the Social Security Administration’s website and look at your account information. The date of your benefit payment should be in there. You can also call the SSA or email them if you have questions about your 2024 Social Security benefit payment date.

Managing Your Benefits

Managing your money can be a challenge when you only receive benefits once a month. A lot of people have trouble figuring out how to make their benefits last for a whole month until they receive another benefit payment. Some tips that may help you stretch your benefits are:

• Get on-budget billing plans if your utilities offer them. That way you know exactly how much money you will owe for your utilities each month.
• Plan your meals weekly and shop according to sales so that you can get the most food for your money.
• Stock up on pantry essentials when they’re on sale like flour, sugar, and whole ingredients. If the money is running low before your next payment date, you can use those pantry staples to make good meals.
• Set money aside for emergencies. When you do receive your benefit payment stick some of it into a savings account or use your Direct Express® card to withdraw some cash and keep that to help out if things get tight at the end of the month.

There are lots of online tools and resources that can help you find new ways to manage your monthly benefit payment effectively. You can join groups on Facebook and other social media where people share tips on everything from cooking to covering household emergencies when you are receiving only one payment per month.

If your benefits don’t arrive on time, call the SSA right away to find out if there is a problem with your benefits. You can either call the SSA toll-free at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778), or you can also contact your local Social Security office.

Conclusion

If you’re receiving SSI, you should always receive your 2024 SSI payment on the 1st of the month, or the Friday before the first if the first falls on a weekend or holiday.

If you’re receiving any other kind of Social Security benefit payment the payment date for those benefits is based on your birthdate. You can check your specific Social Security benefit payment date in your My SSA account.

If you’re waiting for your SSDI because your disability application hasn’t been approved yet you should speak with a disability lawyer. Getting your application for SSDI approved can be a slow process because it’s complicated. Working with a disability attorney is a good way to make the process easier.

A disability attorney can help you understand the application process, tell you how to (and help you) fill out the application documents, and advise you on what documentation you need to include with your application to increase the chances of approval.

Disability lawyers work on a contingency basis—that means you don’t have to pay a disability lawyer anything up-front in order to speak with and/or get help from them.

Additionally, disability attorneys don’t get paid until your application is approved by the SSA. And, their fee is paid by the SSA directly, so you don’t ever have to pay out-of-pocket or up-front.

Getting approved for Social Security disability benefits has been tough in the past. Applicants typically have long wait times and have to submit a lot of different materials to prove to the Social Security Administration that they are disabled.

However, the Social Security Administration has announced changes to the disability evaluation process that will make the process simpler and easier for applicants. Here’s what you need to know about the SSA’s 2024 changes to the disability evaluation process:

What Changes Did the SSA Make To The Disability Evaluation Process?

The change that was made to the disability evaluation process is a big one that should make it much easier and faster for applications to be processed. Thanks to the change the SSA will only consider five years of past work history instead of 15 years when considering “past relevant work”. And under the new policy work that lasted less than 30 days won’t be considered.

The rule change makes it easier for people to prove that they can’t perform any of the jobs that they performed in the past due to their current disability. Now that only five years of work history is considered instead of 15 it means that people who are applying for disability will have an easier time qualifying for disability benefits. It also means the decision about their application can be made faster because the SSA is only going through five years of work history instead of 15.

Why Did The SSA Make This Ruling?

The Social Security Administration made this change as a response to an Executive Order from President Biden. The Order was issued to make sure that government agencies like the Social Security Administration are doing everything they can to process applications in a timely way and make sure that people who are disabled are getting the benefits they need to pay their bills and living expenses.

After looking at many ways to streamline the application process the Social Security Administration decided that it would only consider five years of work history instead of 15 so that the application process would be easier and faster. This reduces the wait time for applicants significantly.

What Is The Disability Application Evaluation Process?

There are several steps in the Social Security Administration’s disability application evaluation process. The steps in the evaluation process include:

1. Are you working?

The Social Security Administration will first determine whether or not an applicant has been holding down a job. If you have been working and earning money generally your application will be denied. However, if you are working and you are making less than the current income cap set by the SSA you may still be considered for disability benefits.

2. Is your medical condition “severe”?

In this case, a “severe” medical condition is one that meets the SSA’s standard of disability. Your condition must limit your ability to perform basic work activities such as lifting, standing, walking, sitting, and remembering. And your condition must have lasted for the last 12 months or be expected to last for the next 12 months.

3. Does your medical condition meet or medically equal a listing?

Your medical condition must be listed in the Social Security Administration’s Blue Book. And you must also meet all of the requirements in that listing in order to be considered disabled by the SSA. You will have to submit substantial proof showing that you meet the listing requirements.

If you can show that you have been diagnosed with a condition that is listed in the Blue Book and you can show medical documentation that you meet the requirements in the Blue Book listing you should be approved for disability benefits without your work history being considered.

But, if you don’t have a condition listed in the Blue Book or don’t meet the requirements then the SSA will move to step 4:

4. Can you do the work you did before?

In this step the SSA will look at your work history to see if you are capable of performing any of the jobs that you did in the past. If you are, then you won’t be approved for disability benefits. This is the step that has changed.

In the past, the SSA would look at 15 years of your work history to determine if you could perform any of the jobs that you held in that 15-year period. Now, as a result of the change, the SSA will only look at the jobs you’ve had for the past five years. This should speed up the evaluation process quite a bit so that applicants aren’t waiting for months to get an initial decision.

5. Can you do any other type of work?

If you can’t do any of the work that you have done in the past five years the SSA will look at your education, experience, and training to see if there’s any other type of work that you would be able to do. If the SSA decides there is no other type of work that you can do then your application for Social Security disability benefits should be approved.

Contact a Disability Attorney

If you have applied for Social Security disability benefits and your initial application was denied you can appeal. Most of the time when people are denied it’s because there is an error in their application. An attorney who knows the Social Security disability system can help you write an appeal letter and file your appeal.

Working with a disability attorney can improve the chances that your application will be approved on appeal. An attorney can help you fill out the application forms, gather the medical evidence you need, and help you understand how the appeal process works.

The Social Security Administration pays monthly benefits to people who are disabled and can’t work, or who have other struggles that make it difficult for them to get by. People who receive benefits from the Social Security Administration can use the money from those benefits to help pay for rent or mortgage, food, utilities, medical costs, and other expenses.

The Social Security Administration uses a consistent benefit payment schedule so that you will always know when you will receive your monthly Social Security benefits.

Knowing when your 2024 Social Security benefits will arrive will make it easier for you to plan your budget, make sure that your bills get paid on time, maintain good credit, and make sure that there is plenty of food in the house.

Types of Social Security Benefits

When people think of Social Security benefits, they usually think of Social Security disability benefits or Social Security retirement benefits. But those are just two types of benefits that the SSA offers. There are several total types of benefits that the SSA pays out monthly like:

Retirement Benefits

If you have worked and paid into the Social Security system through money deducted from your paychecks you are eligible for Social Security retirement benefits after you reach a certain age. To qualify for Social Security retirement benefits you must have at least 40 work credits that were earned while you were working.

The exception to this rule is if you were a stay-at-home spouse and didn’t work but your spouse did. You may be eligible to get Social Security retirement benefits based on your spouse’s work earnings. Even if you are divorced, if you were married for at least 10 years and you have not remarried you are still eligible for retirement benefits based on your ex-spouse’s work history.

To start drawing your Social Security retirement benefits you must be at least 62 years old. However, you will get more money if you wait longer to start receiving your benefits. If you wait until you are 70 to start receiving your retirement benefits you will get the maximum payment. People who start taking benefits between ages 62-69 will only receive a portion of the total possible benefit amount.

Disability Benefits (SSDI)

If you worked for some time but became disabled because of an injury or illness and now you can’t work any longer you are eligible for Social Security disability benefits. Before your application for Social Security disability benefits will be approved you will have to submit an application and extensive medical documentation proving your disability makes it impossible for you to work.

You will also have to prove that you have one of the conditions listed in the SSA’s Blue Book and that you meet the requirements in that listing. You can search through the Blue Book on the SSA’s website or view a copy at your local SSA office. There are more than 200 physical and mental health conditions that the SSA considers disabling.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI)

Supplemental Security Income, also called SSI, is money paid by the Social Security Administration to adults who have been disabled since childhood. SSI also is paid to low-income parents who have a sick or disabled child. A child that has a disability can apply for SSI on their own when they turn 18 and get benefits to help them pay for their living expenses.

Parents of children who have a severe illness or disability can apply for SSI on behalf of the child. But, if you apply for SSI for your child you will have to submit proof of your income to show that your total household income is below the income cap set by the Social Security Administration. Anyone in the household who works full time will need to submit their W-2s, tax returns, or bank statements that show their income.

If you apply for SSI for your child and are approved, you will receive the benefit money each month, but you will need to document how that money is spent. It must go towards the child’s living and medical expenses.

Survivor Benefits

If your spouse worked and they pass away, you may be entitled to survivor benefits for you and your children. Children can receive survivor benefits if they are under 18, or over 19 and still in high school, or if they are an adult that was disabled before they turned 22. Adopted children and stepchildren qualify for survivor benefits too.

Spouses who are 50 or older and disabled can receive survivor benefits. Spouses who are 60 or older and not disabled can also qualify for survivor benefits. If a deceased worker’s parents are elderly and depended on the worker for 50% or more of their income, they can also qualify for survivor benefits.

Overview of Social Security Payment Schedule 2024

The Social Security payment schedule for 2024 doesn’t change much from month to month. The SSA keeps the schedule consistent so that it’s easier for you to keep track of when you will receive your 2024 Social Security benefit payments.

If you’re receiving benefits for yourself then the benefit payment date will be based on your birthdate. But if you’re receiving survivor benefits the benefit payment date will depend on the birthdate of the deceased worker.

If you are receiving SSI for yourself or a child, you will always receive SSI at the beginning of the month, or the last date of the month if the first day of the month falls on a weekend or holiday, regardless of your birthdate or the child’s birthdate.

Social Security Benefit Payment Dates for August 2024

Social Security benefit payment dates for August 2024 fall on:

• Thursday, August 1st
• Wednesday, August 14th
• Wednesday, August 21st
• Wednesday, August 28th

If you are scheduled to receive any type of payment from the Social Security Administration it should arrive on one of those days, depending on when your date of birth is.

August 2024 Payment Dates for SSI Benefits. If you are receiving SSI you will get your August 2024 SSI payment on Thursday, August 1st.

August 2024 Payment Dates for All Other Social Security Benefits. People who are receiving other types of Social Security benefits will receive their August 2024 Social Security benefits on these dates:

• Wednesday, August 14th – If your birthdate is the 1st-10th of the month.
• Wednesday, August 21st- If your birthdate is the 11th-20th of the month.
• Wednesday, August 28th- If your birthdate is 21st -31st of the month.

If you are not sure what date your benefits should arrive you can also check your account on the Social Security Administration’s website.

Will There Be An Extra Social Security Benefit Payment In August?

Because of the way that the calendar runs there are some months where there is an extra Social Security benefit payment in that month. That is the case in August for anyone who is receiving SSI. Because September 1st falls on a Sunday, anyone who is receiving SSI for themselves or their child will receive that payment on Friday, August 30th.

So, if you are receiving SSI remember that you will receive your usual monthly benefit amount on both August 1 and August 30th. But you will not receive an additional payment on September 1st. The payment on August 30th is your September 2024 SSI benefit payment.

Payment Methods

The Social Security Administration used to offer people a choice of receiving their monthly benefit payment electronically or receiving a paper check in the mail. But, the SSA no longer offers the option of receiving a paper check.

Most people prefer to receive their benefits electronically anyway, because then they don’t have to worry about a mail delay resulting in a late benefit payment. Now you can choose to have your Social Security benefit payment deposited electronically into a checking or savings account, or you can have the money deposited onto the SSA’s Direct Express card.

If you don’t have a bank account, then you must choose the SSA’s Direct Express card option. You can sign up for the Direct Express card through your account on the SSA’s website . The Direct Express card works like a regular debit or credit card. The money is electronically loaded onto the card, then you can use the card to pay bills or withdraw cash at an ATM.

Important Considerations

The amount of money that you receive for your monthly Social Security benefit should be the same as previous months. Cost-of-Living-Adjustments are only made once a year, at the beginning of the year, so the amount of benefit should remain the same until 2025.

Holidays can sometimes impact when Social Security benefits are received, but there are no major holidays in August 2024. You should receive your Social Security benefits in August 2024 on time.

If you have questions about what date your Social Security benefit payment will be deposited into your account or onto your Direct Express card you can always check your account on the SSA’s website. You can also call or email the SSA directly and ask about your payment date.

Managing Your Benefits

Many people struggle to manage their Social Security benefit money effectively. It can be very difficult to stretch one benefit payment for a whole month. If you are worried about how to make your benefit payment last all month and still pay your bills on time, try some strategies that work for many people like:

• Get on budget billing plans if your utilities offer them. That way you know exactly how much money you will owe for your utilities each month.
• Plan your meals weekly and shop according to sales so that you can get the most food for your money.
• Stock up on pantry essentials when they’re on sale like flour, sugar, and whole ingredients. If the money is running low before your next payment date you can use those pantry staples to make good meals.
• Set money aside for emergencies. When you do receive your benefit payment stick some of it into a savings account or use your Direct Express card to withdraw some cash and keep that to help out if things get tight at the end of the month.

There are lots of online tools and resources that can help you find new ways to manage your monthly benefit payment effectively. You can join groups on Facebook and other social media where people share tips on everything from cooking to covering household emergencies when you are receiving only one payment per month.

If your benefits don’t arrive on time call the SSA right away to find out if there is a problem with your benefits. You can either call the SSA toll-free at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778), or you can also contact your local Social Security office.

Conclusion

If you are receiving SSI, you should always receive your 2024 SSI payment on the 1st of the month, or the Friday before the first if the first falls on a weekend or holiday. In August 2024 anyone receiving SSI will receive their SSI payment for August 2024 on Thursday, August 1st. They will receive an SSI payment for September 2024 on Friday, August 30th.

If you are receiving any other kind of Social Security benefit payment the payment date for those benefits is based on your birthdate. You can check your specific Social Security benefit payment date in your My SSA account.

Types of Social Security Benefits

Retirement Benefits

People that have worked all their lives and paid into Social Security from their paychecks can claim Social Security retirement benefits when they are too old to work.

You must have earned at least 40 work credits during your working years in order to claim Social Security retirement benefits, which means that you must have worked at least ten years. You can earn up to four work credits per year that you’re working.

There is an exception to the retirement eligibility requirement though. If you were a stay at home spouse and never worked, but your spouse did, you can claim Social Security retirement benefits through your spouse as long as your spouse has at least 40 work credits.

You can start claiming retirement benefits at 62. But the longer you wait the more money you will get for your benefit amount.

If you wait until you are 70 to start claiming benefits you can receive the maximum retirement benefit. If you start drawing retirement benefits anytime between ages 62-29 you will only receive a portion of the maximum benefit payment.

Disability Benefits (SSDI)

Social Security disability benefits are benefits paid to someone who did work, but then become disabled and couldn’t work any longer.

The application process for SSDI can take a long time, and you will need to submit substantial medical evidence that proves you are disabled before your application for disability benefits will be approved.

You can search through the Blue Book on the SSA’s website or view a copy at your local SSA office. There are more than 200 physical and mental health conditions that the SSA considers disabling.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI)

SSI, or Supplemental Security Income, is paid to adults that have been disabled since childhood and have never been able to work.

Low-income parents who have a child that is disabled or has a very serious illness can also apply for SSI to help pay for the child’s living expenses. When the child turns 18 they will need to apply for SSI on their own.

If you’re a parent who has a child that has a disability and you’re having a hard time making ends meet or you have to stop working to take care of your child, you can apply for SSI.

You will need to submit W-2s, tax returns, or other financial proof showing the income of each adult in the household that works full-time.

The total income for the household must be below the cap set by the SSA in order for your application to be approved.

If the application is approved, you will need to keep documentation showing how the SSI money is spent to prove that it’s being spent on the child’s living or medical expenses.

Survivor Benefits

If your spouse has passed away but they worked all their lives you and your children may be entitled to survivor’s benefits.

Children can receive survivor benefits if they are under 18, or over 19 and still in high school, or if they are an adult that was disabled before they turned 22. Adopted children and stepchildren qualify for survivor benefits too.

Spouses who disabled can receive survivor’s benefits starting at 50. Spouses who are 60 or older and not disabled can also qualify for survivor benefits.

If a deceased worker’s parents are elderly and dependent on the worker for 50% or more of their income, they can also qualify for survivor benefits.

If you’re receiving benefits for yourself then the benefit payment date will be based on your birthdate.

But if you’re receiving survivor benefits the benefit payment date will depend on the birthdate of the deceased worker.

If you are receiving SSI for yourself or a child, you will always receive SSI at the beginning of the month, or the last date of the month if the first day of the month falls on a weekend or holiday, regardless of your birthdate or the child’s birthdate.

• Wednesday, September 18th- If your birthdate is the 11th-20th of the month.
• Wednesday, September 25th If your birthdate is 21st -31st of the month.

If you are not sure what date your benefits should arrive you can also check your account on the Social Security Administration’s website.

Will There Be An Extra Social Security Benefit Payment In September?

Because of the way that the calendar runs there are some months where there is an extra Social Security benefit payment in that month. That won’t happen in September 2024. There will be no extra Social Security benefit payment in September.

However, remember that if you are receiving SSI you will receive your SSI payment on Friday, August 30th because September 1st is a Sunday.

Payment Methods

In the past the Social Security Administration offered people the option to get their benefits paid through a paper check that was mailed to their home or to get an electronic deposit. But now, the SSA only offers electronic options.

Electronic payment methods are often more reliable than mailed checks, and it means that you will never get stuck with a late check if the mail is late because of a holiday or disaster.

Electronic payments should deposit the morning of the day that you are supposed to receive the payment.

If you choose to have your Social Security benefit payment deposited into your checking or savings account it may be a day or several days before your bank releases the funds. Check with your bank to see what their funds availability policy is.

If you don’t have a bank account, or if your bank holds deposits and you don’t want to wait for your money, you can choose to have your benefit money deposited onto a Direct Express card.

The Direct Express card is the SSA’s own debit card. You can sign up for the Direct Express card through your account on the SSA’s website.

The Direct Express card works like a regular debit or credit card. The money is electronically loaded onto the card, then you can use the card to pay bills or withdraw cash at an ATM.

Important Considerations

Social Security benefits don’t change throughout the year. So, you should be receiving the same amount of money every month during the year. If you don’t receive the same amount every month you should contact the SSA to find out why.

Once a year the SSA may raise the amount of your benefit, if there has been a Cost-of-Living-Adjustment. If that happens the increase will start with your January 2025 Social Security benefit payment and continue through 2025.

If you have questions about what date your Social Security benefit payment will be deposited into your account or onto your Direct Express card you can always check your account on the SSA’s website. You can also call or email the SSA directly and ask about your payment date.

Managing Your Benefits

It can be difficult to manage your money when you only receive one payment every month. Making that money last through the whole month can require some creativity and hard work.

Some things that you can do to make the most of the Social Security benefits that you receive and make sure that your bills get paid on time are:

• Get on budget billing plans if your utilities offer them. That way you know exactly how much money you will owe for your utilities each month.
• Plan your meals weekly and shop according to sales so that you can get the most food for your money.
• Stock up on pantry essentials when they’re on sale like flour, sugar, and whole ingredients. If the money is running low before your next payment date you can use those pantry staples to make good meals.
• Set money aside for emergencies. When you do receive your benefit payment stick some of it into a savings account or use your Direct Express card to withdraw some cash and keep that to help out if things get tight at the end of the month.

There are lots of online tools and resources that can help you find new ways to manage your monthly benefit payment effectively.

You can join groups on Facebook and other social media where people share tips on everything from cooking to covering household emergencies when you are receiving only one payment per month.

If your benefits don’t arrive on time call the SSA right away to find out if there is a problem with your benefits.

Conclusion

If you are receiving SSI, you should always receive your 2024 SSI payment on the 1st of the month, or the Friday before the first if the first falls on a weekend or holiday.

In September 2024 anyone receiving SSI will receive their SSI payment for September 2024 on Thursday, September 1st. They will receive an SSI payment for September 2024 on Friday, September 30th.

If you aren’t sure when you should be receiving your September 2024 Social Security benefit payment, or if you’re not sure what your Social Security benefit payment date is you can always check your MySSA account on the SSA’s website.

The date of your payment and the amount you receive should be visible in your account.
If you are waiting for your SSDI because your disability application hasn’t been approved yet you should speak with a disability lawyer.

Getting your application for SSDI approved can be a slow process because it’s complicated. Working with a disability attorney is a good way to make the process easier.

Social Security disability benefits are available to eligible individuals who can’t work because of disabling conditions or injuries. The U.S Social Security Administration (SSA) offers Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits to help disabled individuals who’ve worked in the past cover their monthly expenses.

Various factors can influence someone’s eligibility to receive benefits. You might worry you don’t qualify if you already receive veterans’ benefits. While this is an understandable concern, receiving veterans’ benefits doesn’t automatically disqualify you from receiving any form of SSD benefits.

Qualifying for Social Security Disability If You Get Veterans’ Benefits

Per the SSA, you can receive both Social Security disability benefits and Veterans Administration (VA) benefits when a disability prevents you from working and earning enough to cover the costs of daily life. However, you have to apply for each program separately. Luckily, the VA and SSA sometimes share information, helping expedite the application process.

Be aware that the eligibility criteria for SSDI is different from the VA benefits criteria. You must meet the following criteria to qualify for SSDI:

• Having an impairment that prevents you from participating in substantial gainful activity at the time you submit your application
• Having a disabling condition that is medically likely to last at least 12 months or result in your passing
• Meeting certain age, education, and/or work history requirements

The above criteria don’t apply to VA benefits. To qualify for veterans’ benefits, you must have an injury or illness that resulted from military service or was aggravated as a result of military service.

That said, showing you meet these eligibility criteria isn’t always as easy as it seems. Enlisting the help of a legal professional when applying could improve your chances of receiving an approval from either program.

How Do VA Benefits Impact Disability Benefits?

Receiving VA benefits doesn’t disqualify you from receiving SSD benefits. Along with SSDI, you may also qualify for Supplemental Security Income (SSI), a needs-based program with slightly different eligibility requirements from SSDI. You could qualify for SSI even if you receive VA benefits.

That doesn’t mean that receiving one form of benefits won’t affect the other. For example, perhaps you already receive VA benefits, and are now applying for Social Security disability benefits as well. The SSA may account for your VA benefits when determining how much money your monthly benefit amount should be.

Contact a Disability Lawyer

The fact that you may qualify for two forms of benefits doesn’t mean that you’ll begin receiving them immediately upon submitting an application or claim. You will need to provide substantial medical documentation to show why you deserve to receive benefits.

The application process is much easier to navigate when you have professional assistance. By hiring a disability lawyer, you’ll have someone on your side to handle everything from coordinating with doctors to submitting thorough paperwork with supporting evidence.

If you are currently receiving disability benefits and your medical condition changes, it is important to notify the Social Security Administration (SSA). This is because eligibility for disability benefits is based on you having a medical condition that prevents you from working. If the medical condition has improved and you are now able to work then you cannot expect the same support from the SSA. However, if your medical condition has worsened then there may be more assistance available to you.

Understanding Disability Benefits

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)

This is a federal insurance program designed to provide income support to individuals who are unable to work due to a disability. Obtaining disability benefits through the SSDI program depends on having a work history and enough social security payments over the time employed to satisfy the SSA’s criteria.

Eligibility criteria

• You must have a qualifying medical condition that causes a disability that prevents substantial gainful activity (SGA), meaning the inability to earn a certain amount of income. The relevant medical conditions can be found in the SSA’s Blue Book.
• You must have worked and paid social security taxes for a certain number of years, resulting in accumulating work credits. The exact number of credits required depends on your age at the time of disability.
• Your disability is normally expected to last for at least one year or result in death.
• Benefits are based on your earnings history, similar to retirement benefits.
• There is typically a 5 month waiting period from the onset of a disability before benefits begin.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI)

SSI is a federal income supplement program funded by revenue gained through general taxes and not social security taxes. It provides cash assistance to individuals with limited income and resources who are old, blind, or disabled. It is not necessary to have accumulated work credits to qualify for SSI, but there are income and assets tests which determine whether you are eligible. You must have less than the cut off limits to qualify for benefits through this program.

Eligibility criteria

• Must have a qualifying disability that prevents being able to reach the SSA’s stated limit of substantial gainful activity (SGA).
• Must have limited income and resources, including assets such as cash, bank accounts, stocks, and property. There are strict asset and income limits to qualify for SSI. The main home isn’t normally assessed when applying for SSI.
• Citizenship or legal U.S. residency requirements also apply.

SSI benefits are set by the federal government and are adjusted every year based on changes in the cost of living.

Maximum Federal Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment amounts increase with the cost-of-living increases that apply to social security benefits. The latest such increase was 3.2 percent which became effective in January 2024. The monthly maximum Federal amounts for SSI in 2024 are $943 for an eligible individual, $1,415 for an eligible individual with an eligible spouse, and $472 for an essential person.

What Constitutes a Change in a Medical Condition?

A change in a medical condition is defined as when your medical condition has improved, worsened or you have been informed of a new diagnosis.

Reporting medical changes when receiving disability benefits is vital to ensure continued eligibility and the calculation of accurate benefit amounts. Failure to report changes may result in overpayments, underpayments, or loss of benefits. By staying proactive, individuals can prevent financial penalties, receive the appropriate level of support, and maintain compliance with regulations.

This helps uphold the integrity of the disability benefits system and ensures fair distribution of resources to those who truly need them. Reporting changes in medical condition ensures that individuals continue to meet the eligibility criteria for disability benefits. Conditions may improve, worsen, or change over time, affecting eligibility for benefits.

It's a legal requirement to report changes in medical condition to the SSA. Failure to do so can result in penalties or even loss of benefits. Overall, staying proactive and keeping authorities informed of changes in a medical condition ensures that individuals receive the appropriate level of support and helps maintain the integrity of the disability benefits system.

Steps to Take if your Medical Condition Changes

Notify the Social Security Administration (SSA) of medical changes, individuals can contact their local SSA office by phone or visit their website. They should be prepared to provide their Social Security number and details of the medical changes. Alternatively, they can report changes through their personal SSA online account.

For specific instructions and contact information, visit the SSA's official website or call the SSA toll-free at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778 for the deaf or hard of hearing). Additionally, individuals can schedule an in-person appointment at their local SSA office for assistance with reporting changes.

Submit Updated Medical Documentation

Providing updated medical records and reports is vital for substantiating changes in condition when updating disability benefits. These documents serve as evidence to support the severity and impact of the disability, ensuring accurate evaluation by authorities. Forms such as the Disability Update Report (SSA-455) or Continuing Disability Review Report (SSA-454-BK) may be required, along with medical evidence such as doctor's notes, test results, and treatment records. Timely submission of updated information helps maintain eligibility and ensures individuals receive appropriate benefits reflective of their current health status, facilitating fair and efficient assistance allocation.

What to Expect After Reporting a Change

After reporting a medical condition change to the SSA, a reassessment of eligibility typically follows. This involves a review of updated medical records and may include additional examinations or consultations. Depending on the severity of the change, benefit adjustments may occur.

Chronic pain conditions don’t just cause discomfort. Long-term pain can also impact your ability to work and earn a living.

If you can’t work due to a chronic pain condition, you may be eligible for Social Security disability benefits. The U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) offers benefits to individuals who can’t work due to medical conditions. Said benefits may help cover the cost of their basic needs.

Understanding Chronic Pain Conditions

Chronic pain can take many forms. Examples of chronic pain conditions include:

• Fibromyalgia and other forms of widespread muscle pain
• Arthritis and other forms of joint pain
• Chronic back pain
• Pain resulting from a tumor
• Headaches/migraines

Chronic pain can negatively impact one’s ability to work and perform basic daily activities. Sometimes, it’s relatively easy to understand why pain may have such effects. For example, perhaps someone’s job involves physical labor. They may naturally be unable to continue doing this type of work if they’re constantly in pain.

However, chronic pain can even make it difficult or impossible for someone to perform work tasks that might not immediately appear to be very physically demanding. If chronic pain makes it difficult for someone to sit or stand in one position for a prolonged time, it could limit their job prospects. Chronic pain can also cause depression and other symptoms that may interfere with someone’s ability to work.

Qualifying for Social Security Disability Benefits

“Do I qualify for Social Security disability benefits?” You’re likely asking this if you have a chronic pain condition that prevents you from working.

The SSA’s Blue Book lists and describes the types of medical conditions that might qualify someone for benefits. Consult this resource to find out if your condition meets the criteria. A legal professional may also review your case and explain how likely you are to qualify.

Whether you qualify can also depend on the types of benefits you’re seeking. Benefits come in two forms: Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI).

SSI is a needs-based program. You have to show you lack the ability to tend to your own needs to qualify for SSI. To qualify for SSDI, you need to have worked in the past and paid into the Social Security system. Whether you may receive SSDI depends in part on how many “work credits” you’ve accrued.

Medical Evidence Needed

Medical evidence will play a substantial role in your case. Examples of medical evidence you may submit when applying for Social Security disability benefits include:

• General medical records
• Diagnostic test results
• Doctor’s statements

The types of medical evidence you need to submit can vary depending on your condition. For example, if you have inflammatory arthritis, you might need to show that your condition requires you to use a cane, crutches, or other such mobility device.

It’s essential to adhere to a doctor’s recommended treatment plan when applying for benefits. The SSA needs to see you’re taking steps to optimize your condition. Even if your condition is chronic, you may be able to alleviate it to a sufficient degree that you can one day work again.

The Disability Evaluation Process

When you file an initial claim for Social Security benefits, it’s likely the Disability Determination Services (DDS) will evaluate the claim first. Various SSA field offices and other agencies offer DDS services.

The SSA may deny your initial claim. You can appeal their decision if this happens.

Tips for Applying for Social Security Disability Benefits

You have multiple options for filing Social Security benefits claims. You may:

• File online
• Visit your local SSA office to file
• Call your local SSA office
• Mail an application

Tips to improve your chances of receiving an approval include:

• Err on the side of caution and gather as much medical evidence as you can
• Carefully and thoroughly check and re-check your paperwork to avoid delays resulting from administrative errors
• Keep a pain journal to describe the way pain affects your daily life
• Continue seeking medical treatment
• Keep copies of all medical records and relevant receipts

The value of speaking with a lawyer can’t be overstated. Along with strengthening your claim, an attorney can help with various administrative tasks. Letting a lawyer complete and submit an application on your behalf can simplify the process.

Appealing a Denied Claim

If you have to appeal a denial, gathering more medical evidence is one of the best steps you can take. It’s also critical to thoroughly understand the SSA’s reasons for issuing a denial. Sometimes, the SSA will specify what additional information they need from you.

The appeals process involves these four steps. If you receive an approval at any of these steps, you don’t need to move to the next step:

• Requesting a reconsideration
• Requesting a hearing in front of an administrative law judge
• Requesting a review of the hearing decision
• Filing an action with the relevant U.S. Federal District court

Speak With a Social Security Disability Attorney

Did you know the SSA denies most initial applications for Social Security disability benefits? That’s not meant to make you feel you can’t receive the benefits for which you may be eligible. It’s meant to encourage you to seek legal representation.

A lawyer’s assistance may improve your chances of receiving an approval. Even if the SSA denies your initial claim, a lawyer could assist with your appeal. Learn more by taking the Free Case Evaluation today to speak with an independent lawyer who subscribes to this website.

While sometimes a disability cannot necessarily be prevented, there are ways to reduce your risk of becoming disabled, being able to stay in work and not be solely dependent on social security disability benefits.

Ways to Reduce the Chance of a Disability

Often a disability occurs from an accident or an illness that cannot be prevented. However, some disabling conditions may be prevented if action is taken by individuals.

1. Quit smoking

Smoking is known for causing illnesses such as cancer and chronic bronchitis. With no long-term cure, the victim will be disabled for the rest of their life.

2. Regular doctor visits

These can help your doctor identify the early stages of potential disabling diseases before it’s too late for treatment and you end up disabled for the rest of your life.

3. Regular cancer screenings

Taking part in regular cancer screenings such as getting your skin checked for the signs of early cancer could prolong life and prevent a disability from occurring.

4. Regular exercise

This is a known measure for preventing disabling diseases like strokes and heart attacks.

5. Healthy diet

Adding larger portions of fruit and vegetables while reducing dependence on fatty, red meat and processed meat like sausages can slow the progress of many disabling diseases.

6. Avoid alcohol

Drinking alcohol is a known cause of disease as well as increasing the chance of an accident taking place that could cause life-changing injuries and a long-term disability.

7. Be mindful of your mental health

Allowing depression to take place could cause more disabling conditions such as the inability to concentrate in a workplace situation and problems maintaining good workplace relations. This could lead to a mental disability and stop the victim from working.

Ways to Stay Healthy if You Are Disabled

1. Quit smoking

If you are a smoker, quit now and improve your health outcomes.

2. Strong health care

Make sure you look after your health and attend regular doctor’s visits if you have been diagnosed with a disability.

3. Exercise

Regular exercise may keep your heart healthy and improve your mental capabilities while you are suffering from a disability.

4. Healthy diet

There is nothing better than adding more fruit and vegetables and cutting down on consuming fatty food and red meat in your diet to improve your health and well-being while suffering from a disability.

5. Avoid alcohol

Giving up alcohol can help prevent your disability from getting worse and can also stop you from having an accident.

6. Mental health

Just because you have a disability does not mean you can’t keep your mental health healthy.

Navigating the requirements for disability benefits is often complex and one common concern is whether these benefits can expire. Disability benefits can expire based on various factors, such as changes in employment status, or exceeding the maximum allowable income as could be the case for Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and SSI may undergo periodic reviews to assess eligibility. Improvements in the beneficiary’s health condition or ability to work could lead to benefits being stopped. Staying informed about eligibility criteria is also crucial to avoid interruptions in support from disability benefits.

Understanding Disability Benefits Limits

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are two key disability benefits programs in the United States, each of which serves a distinct purpose and eligibility criteria.

SSDI provides benefits to individuals who have worked and paid Social Security taxes, but can’t work due to a disability. Eligibility is based on work history and disability status. The amount of SSDI benefits is determined by the recipient's past earnings, and beneficiaries may also qualify to receive additional benefits for dependents.

SSI is a needs-based program that gives financial assistance to disabled individuals with limited income and resources, regardless of their work history. Eligibility is based on financial need, disability status, and age (65 or older). SSI benefits can vary by state due to differences in cost of living and additional state supplements.

SSDI eligibility requires sufficient work history, payment of Social Security taxes, and inability to work for a minimum of 12 months due to a recognized disability. Both programs assess medical evidence to determine disability status.

Disability benefits aren’t calculated in the same way for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). SSDI benefits rely on past earnings, with a formula that is used to determine the monthly payment. SSI payments are fixed by federal law and are sometimes supplemented by a few states. Benefits are usually distributed each month via direct deposit or a mailed check. Recipients are compelled to report income changes or health improvements, which could affect benefit amounts.

Can Disability Benefits Expire?

Yes, disability benefits can expire under some circumstances. The concept of "medical improvement expected" (MIE) is a key factor in determining whether disability benefits for a beneficiary continues or ends. If the Social Security Administration (SSA) expects a recipient's medical condition to improve based on medical evidence, they may conduct a regular review to assess if the recipient is still eligible for disability benefits.

If the SSA determines that there has been medical improvement that is good enough for the individual to take part in substantial gainful activity (SGA), disability benefits may be stopped. However, if the medical improvement is not that substantial and doesn’t allow the person to work, benefits will likely continue.

Recipients are usually told in advance of a review that may require updated medical information. Understanding MIE helps recipients get ready for any potential benefits review and ensures compliance with SSA regulations.

What Happens When Disability Benefits End?

There are several routes to pursue if your benefits are stopped. These include:

• transitioning from disability benefits to other forms of assistance if you haven’t reached retirement age;
• engaging in programs that are available to assist individuals to return to work;
• understanding your options and seeking legal advice;
• transitioning straight to retirement benefits if you have reached retirement age.

How to Avoid Running Out of Disability Benefits

To avoid running out of disability benefits, manage finances wisely by budgeting and avoiding unnecessary expenses. Keep track of benefit payments and understand eligibility requirements. If your medical condition has improved and you are able to work it's likely your disability benefits will be stopped once you have been offered a position. You should ensure you keep some of your last disability payments before you receive your first wages, so you don’t run out of money.

Tips for managing your benefits and finances

1. Utilize resources like financial counseling services and budgeting tools tailored specifically for individuals with disabilities.
2. Stay informed about changes in policies that may affect disability benefits and seek legal advice if your entitlement to disability benefits is at risk.
3. Maintain thorough medical records that support continued eligibility.
4. Explore vocational rehabilitation programs to enhance employability if you are able to do so.
5. Communicate with the Social Security Administration promptly regarding any concerns or changes in circumstances to ensure uninterrupted support.

Steps to Take If You Believe Your Benefits Are at Risk

• Carefully read any communication from the Social Security Administration (SSA) regarding your benefits. Understand the reason for the potential risk.
• Collect medical records, doctor's reports, and any other relevant documents supporting your disability status. This evidence can strengthen your case during the review process.
• Reach out to the SSA promptly to discuss your concerns. Ask for clarification on why your benefits are at risk and inquire about the appeals process if necessary.
• Consider consulting with a disability attorney or advocate who can provide guidance on your rights and help navigate the appeals process.
• If you disagree with the SSA's decision, file an appeal within the specified timeframe.
• Stay updated on your case status and any changes in disability benefits policies.
• Keep records of all communications and documents related to your case.
• Investigate other sources of financial assistance or support services available to individuals with disabilities in case your benefits are temporarily suspended or terminated.
