What is SSDI?
SSDI stands for Social Security Disability Insurance. It’s a program by the US government to help people who can’t work because of a medical condition. If you’re partially or fully disabled, you can get financial help through SSDI.
SSDI isn’t funded directly by the government. Instead, it’s funded by taxes taken from people’s salaries. These taxes go into the Social Security system, which includes SSDI. People with low income who can’t work due to disabilities can get help from this program.
SSDI Payment Dates for July 2024
According to the latest information, people who qualify for SSDI will receive different amounts based on their disability and income.
The payments range from $100 to $3,822. There are also work incentives for some people who want to work again. These incentives can go up to $1,110 without affecting your SSDI benefits. For blind individuals, this amount can be up to $2,590.
