What Is The Difference Between SSI And Social Security?
SSDI is for people who are low-income and have a disability but haven’t worked much in their lives. SSDI is a benefit given to individuals who have 1. earned work credits and paid taxes, or 2. have a deceased spouse who worked and paid taxes throughout the years.
Here is more information on each.
- SSI is a needs-based program. This implies that you make very little money and have no work credits. SSI is an acronym for Social Security Income.
- Social Security, on the other hand, is a social insurance program in which you are entitled to a monthly payment based on your contributions if you meet certain requirements. You may get Social Security in a number of ways, including earning enough work credits, receiving payments from your deceased spouse’s account, or having a disability along with sufficient work credits.
Editor’s Note: The names for Social Security benefits are numerous. The acronym SSA is a form of social security. RSDI, SSDI, and SDI are alternative names for retirement, survivors, and disability insurance, respectively.
General Payment Schedule For Social Security Checks
Typically, Social Security payments arrive around the same time of the month for SSI or SSDI recipients, but the payment schedule can change each month.
When Will I Receive My SSI Check?
In general, if you qualify for SSI, your payment will be made on the first of the month. The only exception to this is if the first falls on a weekend; in that case, you could receive your SSI payment on the Friday before the weekend or at the latest the Monday after the weekend.
When Will I Receive My SSDI Check?
Your SSDI check will be deposited into your bank account on either:
- The 3rd of the month – If you receive both SSI and SSDI or you began receiving Social Security prior to May 1997, you will get your SSDI check on the 3rd of the month.
- 2nd Wednesday of the month – If you only receive SSDI and your birthday is between the 1st and 10th.
- 3rd Wednesday of the month – You only receive SSDI and your birthday is between the 11th and 20th.
- 4th Wednesday of the month – You only get an SSDI check and your birthday is between the 21st and 31st of the month.
As you may have noticed, many SSDI recipients receive their payment on a Wednesday. The only individuals who get their Social Security payments on a different day are those who began receiving Social Security prior to May 1997, as well as those who receive both SSI and SSDI.
