Next week, some Social Security beneficiaries will receive double payments if they qualify for specific programs. Here’s a breakdown of how and when these payments will be made.
Social Security Payments: Who Gets What and When?
Every month, the Social Security Administration (SSA) distributes benefits to retired workers, survivors, disabled individuals, and those receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Each program has its payment dates, but occasionally, some individuals qualify for payments from both SSI and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). This month, eligible recipients will receive double payments.
Eligibility for Double Payments
Contrary to common belief, you can qualify for both SSDI and SSI benefits under certain circumstances. Eligibility factors include:
- Becoming disabled early in your career.
- Working in low-wage or part-time jobs.
- Not working full-time for the ten years before your disability.
To receive concurrent benefits, you must meet specific income and resource limits. For SSI, these include a monthly income ceiling and asset caps.
Payment Schedule for July
Beneficiaries from SSI and SSDI who qualify will receive payments on the following dates:
- Monday, July 1: SSI beneficiaries.
- Wednesday, July 3: SSDI recipients who began receiving payments before May 1997.
- Wednesday, July 10, 17, and 24: SSDI beneficiaries with varying birthdates.
What to Do If Your Application Is Denied
If your application for double Social Security payments is denied, you can appeal the decision. Reasons for denial often include technical errors or insufficient work credits. You can request reconsideration or a hearing before an administrative judge.
Next week, some Social Security beneficiaries will receive double payments due to their eligibility for both SSI and SSDI. Understanding the eligibility criteria and payment schedule is crucial. If your application is denied, don’t lose hope; you have options to appeal.
