The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) programs are distinct yet interconnected benefits offered by the Social Security Administration (SSA). Here’s a breakdown of the key points from your inquiry:
Eligibility for SSI and SSDI
- SSI is a needs-based program, focusing on individuals with very low income and resources, regardless of work history.
- SSDI requires a qualifying disability and sufficient work credits, based on your past earnings and contributions to Social Security.
Receiving Both SSI and SSDI
If you qualify for both programs, payments are coordinated:
- SSI Payment Date: November 29, 2024.
- SSDI Payment Date: Typically earlier in the month. If you’re also receiving SSI, your SSDI payment for November would shift to December 3, 2024.
This scheduling ensures SSI and SSDI checks do not overlap in late November.
Payment Amounts
- SSI Maximum Payment (November 29, 2024):
- $1,415 for eligible couples.
- $943 for individuals.
- $697 (average for all recipients).
- $803 (average for recipients under 18).
- $745 (average for recipients aged 18-64).
- $576 (average for recipients aged 65 or older).
- SSDI Payment:
- Maximum: $3,822 (requires a history of earning the taxable maximum).
- Average: $1,542.
