Only Two Groups of Disability Beneficiaries Will Receive $1,539 in SSDI Payments
According to Vibes.okdiario, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) payments will continue in early November, arriving faster than they did in October. Typically scheduled for November 3, this month’s payment date has been adjusted due to it falling on a non-business day.
New Payment Date for SSDI
The Social Security Administration (SSA) has announced that eligible recipients will receive their Disability Insurance payments earlier than usual. The new payment date is set for November 1, 2024. Since November 3 is a Sunday when banks and SSA offices are closed, this adjustment ensures that recipients will not experience delays in receiving their benefits.
To qualify for the early SSDI payment, individuals must have started receiving SSDI before May 1997 or be simultaneously receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
Coordinated Payment Schedule
In an important update, SSI and SSDI recipients will share the same payment date this November. This means that if you are eligible for both Supplemental Security Income and Disability Insurance, you will receive all your entitled benefits on the same day.

Payment Amounts for November and December
The SSDI payment amounts will remain consistent through November and December, with the new Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) taking effect in January 2025. Here are the expected amounts:
- Maximum SSDI payment: $3,822
- Average payment for workers with a disability: $1,539
- Average payment for children of workers with a disability: $492
- Average payment for spouses of workers with a disability: $421
Disability Insurance recipients who wish to check their updated payment amounts for 2025 after the COLA can do so via their My Social Security account. The COLA increase is projected to be 2.5%, meaning that if your current payment is $1,000, your new monthly check will be $1,025 after the adjustment.
Conclusion
With the upcoming early SSDI payment and the coordinated payment schedule for SSI recipients, November is shaping up to be a beneficial month for those relying on Social Security Disability Insurance. Stay informed and make sure to check your My Social Security account for any updates regarding your benefits.
