A large number of people in the US are going to receive monthly SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) payments on March 26. However, eligibility to receive this payment will depend on your work, filing and income record. Some people will receive a lower amount, while others will receive more.
How is SSDI payment determined?
Depending on how you qualify for disability insurance, whether you are eligible for an SSDI payment of $433, $510 or $1,580 will be determined. For instance, a disabled worker may get an average monthly payment of $1,580.
Who can receive $433 or $510?
As per the US Social Security Administration (SSA), as of February 2025, the disabled worker’s spouse can get around $433. This can contribute to increasing the overall income of the family.
Besides, if the children of a disabled worker are also eligible for SSDI, they can get an average of $510.
So, both the spouses and children are able to get Social Security benefits on the record of the worker. This can prove to be a real fiscal assistance for low-income families. Moreover, individuals with low income and resources are also able to apply for SSI (Supplemental Security Income).
Do you qualify for SSDI on March 26? In order to qualify for SSDI payments, you should first be approved by the administration. Only those individuals will qualify for payments who have already filed for SSDI and their disability benefits have been accepted.
Further, there are certain requirements to be fulfilled:
- You should have commenced receiving SSDI after April 30, 1997
- If you were getting disability insurance prior to May 1997, you will not be qualified for a March 26, 2025 payment.
- If you receive federal Supplemental Security Income (SSI), this will also not be your payment date.
- Only SSDI recipients born between the 21st and 31st of January will be able to get a payment on March 26.
How much can the largest SSDI payment be?
As of 2025, the biggest SSDI allowance is as high as $4,018 monthly. Still, very few people have been able to qualify for that because it only goes to those with high, long-term Social Security-taxed wages.
Conclusion
If you qualify for SSDI and your birthday is March 21-31, you can receive a monthly allowance on March 26. It can be $433, $510, or $1,580, depending on what category of SSDI you qualify for. If you do not qualify for this program, you can look at other financial assistance programs such as SSI.
