Payment Details
The amount of your Social Security payment varies based on several factors, including when you filed, your work history, and your earnings in jobs covered by the SSA. Here’s a quick rundown of what to expect:
Retirees: The average payment on July 24 will be about $1,918. However, some retirees could receive the largest Social Security payment, which is $4,873. To qualify for this maximum amount, you must have earned the taxable maximum for 35 years and filed at age 70.
SSDI Recipients: If you’re receiving SSDI, expect an average payment of around $1,537. While the largest disability benefit is $3,822, meeting the requirements for this amount is challenging due to the nature of disabilities.
Social Security
Looking ahead to August, the first payment will be made on the 1st. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients will receive their checks first next month, but they’ll also be the last to get them. This is because the SSI payment for September will be issued on August 30 instead of September 1.
SSI Payments: The average SSI amount is about $697. The maximum benefit is $943 for individuals and $1,415 for married couples.
Combined SSI and Social Security Payments: If you’re receiving both SSI and Social Security, your next payment will be on August 2, not August 3. Note that Social Security payments will also be sent to those who started receiving benefits before May 1997 on August 2, 2024.
Plan Your Budget
It’s crucial to plan your monthly budget before your payment arrives. Knowing when and how much you’ll receive can help you manage your finances more effectively. Here’s a summary of the upcoming payment dates and amounts to help you stay on track:
