Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) recipients can look forward to an upcoming payment on November 20, 2024. This payment is specifically for those beneficiaries who were not eligible for the November 1 payout and have a birthday between November 11-20.
With just a few days remaining until this disbursement, it’s essential to understand the eligibility requirements.
Who Will Receive the SSDI Payment on November 20?
The SSDI payment scheduled for November 20 will apply to those who:
- Filed for Disability Insurance after April 30, 1997.
- Have a birthdate between the 11th and 20th of any given month.
It’s important to note that this payment cycle only covers those who meet both conditions above. Additionally, recipients who are also receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) will not be included in this round of payments.
Understanding SSDI Eligibility Criteria
SSDI benefits are specifically designed for individuals who are unable to work due to a disabling condition that is expected to last for more than a year.
However, these benefits are not limited to just the disabled worker. In certain cases, spouses and children may also qualify for monthly benefits if they meet specific conditions set by the Social Security Administration (SSA).
SSDI Checks for Spouses and Children: Amounts and Eligibility for November 20
If you are set to receive a direct deposit on November 20, the average SSDI payout for workers is estimated to be $1,542. However, this amount can vary based on individual circumstances. Here’s a breakdown of average payments for family members as of October 2024:
| Recipient Category | Average SSDI Payment |
