These benefits, managed by the Social Security Administration (SSA), provide crucial support. Let’s explore the SSDI payments for July 2024 and what you need to know.

What is SSDI?
SSDI helps people who cannot work due to disabilities. It also supports families when the main earner dies. The SSA manages these benefits, which help millions of Americans.
Who Gets SSDI?
To get SSDI, you must meet certain criteria:
- Disability: You must have a condition that stops you from working for at least a year or could lead to death.
- Work History: You must have paid payroll taxes.
- Additional Income: SSDI might not cover all expenses, so looking for extra income sources is a good idea.
SSDI and SSI
Some people might also qualify for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) along with SSDI. These programs have different goals but similar eligibility requirements. You don’t need separate applications for both, and SSI benefits are limited by your monthly income.
