From the moment a citizen of the United States starts getting their disability retirement payment, they will always be able to know the day on which the Administration will send the check to their checking account. This is thanks to the Social Security payment schedule, which is marked by the different groups of retirees that exist.
If we take into account that there are four different groups of retirees, we can see that each of the groups is paid on a different day of the payment calendar. We must not neglect this payment calendar at any time, as it is key for citizens with a disability to know at what point in the month they will have access to their benefits on a regular basis.
Without going any further, today is one of those payment days, but only for a specific group of disability beneficiaries. And not only that, but other groups of retirees can also receive payment without problems, since the type of retirement does not change the day on which we receive our check.
How to receive disability payment today?
The group of retirees who are getting their disability payments today are group 1 retirees. Similarly, retirees by age can also receive this type of benefit, so we must pay attention to the requirements in order to know if we will have the check confirmed today.
Thus, the payment of this benefit arrives today to Americans who:
- Have a check accepted before May 1997.
- Have Direct Deposit activated as their collection method.
Both requirements are mandatory to get today’s payment, but it is true that the second of these requirements is not mandatory to be part of group 1. If we are part of this group, we can get the payment in the next few days whether we have activated the Direct Deposit collection method or not.
Maximum amounts for Disability in April 2025
The payment of the Disability benefit in April 2025 may be higher than in April 2024 thanks to the fact that the COLA took effect from January of this year. So be sure to check how much you will be able to get in this regard.
Thus, Social Security Disability payments can have a check that can reach $4,018, but that is only the case if you have the maximum payment, which is not very common with this type of benefit. Regardless of this, the payment for disability will reach our pockets today if we meet the aforementioned requirements, as the amount does not change on the day of collection.
