Although we still have half of February ahead of us, thousands of households in the United States are already receiving disability payments through Social Security Direct Deposit. However, many other US citizens have not yet received this month’s benefit.
As a result, if you are one of the retirees who has yet to receive their monthly benefit, you should be aware that you may be receiving this new check soon. The Administration will send the disability payment on the third and fourth Wednesdays of February.
Previous disability payments were sent on the 3rd and 12th of each month, with most of these groups of US citizens already receiving funds via Direct Deposit.
Check the requirements to receive this new payment that will arrive soon so that you can mark it on your calendar if you are eligible for this benefit.
Upcoming new Disability Direct Deposit payments
Although the maximum payment for this benefit is $4,018, citizens with such a payment do not always receive such a large benefit. Each payment is unique, so we could receive both the maximum and an average check for $1,650.
Regardless, the most important thing is to know when we will receive the payment. To do this, review the requirements for each new payment day for Social Security Disability checks.
So, we have two upcoming payment dates:
- February 19th, 2025: Payments for retirees with benefits after May 1997 with birthdays between the 11th and 20th of any month.
- February 26th, 2025: Payments for retirees with benefits after May 1997 with birthdays between the 21st and 31st of any month.
As a result, Americans in these two groups will be able to receive their disability checks or other payments on those days. It is important to remember that the amount does not change depending on the day we receive the payment, but the collection method chosen does.
The type of benefit makes no difference, so if our check is for disability or retirement due to age, we will be able to receive it regardless.
If we have not activated Direct Deposit, we will still receive this new disability payment; however, the money will be available a few days later. Without Direct Deposit, the money usually appears within three days, but it could take longer.
If it takes a long time to appear in our checking account, we should contact our bank to inquire about any potential issues.
