Here’s some good news for people who depend on Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): More money is going to be sent soon. The Social Security Administration (SSA) is still following its payment calendar. The deposits for February 12 were made on that date. Don’t worry if you didn’t get it on that date; more are on the way.
Based on your birthday, you get your SSDI benefits on three different dates, the same number of dates as when you retire. Your money should have been sent to you on February 12 if you were born between January 1 and October 10 of any month. Now, February 19 is an important day if your birthday is between February 11 and February 20. The payment will come on February 26 if you were born between January 21 and December 31.
Remember that it always happens on the second, third, and fourth Wednesday of the month. So, write down the dates for March: 12, 19, and 26. These dates have already been approved by the SSA.
How Does SSDI Work for Social Security Disability Benefits?
There are a few things you need to know before you apply for SSDI. You could get hurt on the job, be diagnosed with a major illness, or have any other problem that keeps you from working. That’s where SSDI comes in. It’s a monthly payment for disabled people who can’t work like they used to (because of their condition).
For the SSA to accept your application, you need to show proof of your medical condition and meet other requirements. If everything checks out and they give you the all-clear, this check can help you pay for things like rent, food, or medicine.
As for the numbers, the biggest payment that can be made in February is $4,018 a month, but not everyone can get that much. You must have worked for at least 35 years and made a lot of money to get it, and you must have been born either before or during 1954. The full retirement age has changed over the years, so if you were born after that date, the amount is less.
Another important thing is that you need to have 40 work points. What does this mean? There you have it. In 2025, each credit is worth $1,810, and you can earn up to 4 points each year. In order to get SSDI, at least 20 of those points must have been earned in the last 10 years. The rules are a little different if you are younger, but the SSA looks at each case on its own.
Is it possible to get both SSI and SSDI at the same time?
If you can. There are a few things that affect whether or not someone can get both SSDI and SSI (Supplemental Security Income).
To get both benefits, you have to meet the requirements for each scheme. In other words, you have to show that you can’t work and, if you want SSI, meet certain limits on your income and resources.
Here’s a tip for figuring out your benefits: Social Security counts SSDI as income when figuring out how much SSI you get. If your SSDI check is big, your SSI amount could go down, or you could be kicked out of the program.
Amount of money you can make: If your total income, including SSDI, is more than the SSI cap, you do not qualify. That easy.
When you put them together, you can get more financial help, which is always helpful when things are tough. Getting SSI can also help you get Medicaid, and getting SSDI can often help you get Medicare.
