Today, many beneficiaries of the Retirement, Survivor, and Disability Insurance (RSDI) program will receive their new Social Security payment. To be eligible for these monthly benefits, claimants must have applied after May 1997 and be born between the 11th and 20th.

On average, retired workers can expect $1,900, while those receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) will get $1,537. These amounts already include the 3.2% cost of living adjustment (COLA), designed to help recipients keep up with inflation and cover their monthly expenses.

Payment Schedule

The Social Security payment schedule for 2024 has two remaining payments scheduled for the third and fourth Wednesdays of this month. The SSA organizes payments based on each beneficiary’s birth date:

RSDI Benefit ProgramMailing DatePayment Methodology
Retirees, survivors, and disabled people post-19972nd Wednesday (July 10th)Day of birth: 1st–10th
3rd Wednesday (July 17th)Day of birth: 11th–20th
4th Wednesday (July 24th)Day of birth: 21st–31st

SSI recipients are always paid on the first day of the month, while RSDI beneficiaries who claimed benefits before 1997 are paid on the third day of the month, regardless of their birth date.

Retirement Age Trends

Predicting retirement age can be challenging. According to a 2024 Mass Mutual survey, many people plan to retire at age 63, though the median reported retirement age is 62. This suggests that many Americans expect to work longer than they do. Early retirement often results from unforeseen events like health problems, disabilities, or caregiving responsibilities. Medicare becomes available at age 65, making health insurance a critical factor for those considering early retirement.

In conclusion, Social Security payments are crucial for supporting retirees, survivors, and disabled individuals. Knowing the payment schedule and amounts is vital for beneficiaries. Always check with Social Security professionals to ensure you receive the correct benefits and stay informed about your entitlements.
