The next round of disability benefits is just around the corner, with the Social Security Administration (SSA) set to send a new Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) payment on July 24 for eligible recipients. Here’s a comprehensive look at the upcoming payments and what recipients can expect.

July 24 SSDI Payment

To receive the SSDI payment on July 24, you must meet specific criteria. Firstly, your birthday must fall after the 20th of the month. Additionally, you must have been on SSDI benefits after April 30, 1997, and should not be receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI), which is another form of disability benefit.

Eligibility Criteria

• Benefit History: On SSDI after April 30, 1997.
• SSI Status: Not receiving SSI.

If you meet these requirements, you’ll be eligible for the SSDI payment on July 24, which will be the last opportunity to receive a direct deposit or check from SSA in July.
