In December, the first of four SSDI payments will be made, one day earlier than usual. According to their birthdate and the year they first began receiving SSDI payments, recipients typically begin collecting their SSDI funds.
SSDI payments are distributed to eligible recipients and certain family members who are insured, as well as to individuals who paid Social Security taxes on their earnings.
Those who wish to be paid may submit an application in person, over the phone, or online.
Depending on the type of disability, different processing times apply for applications. Medical documentation, tests, and necessary quality reviews will also be required.
In order to verify the information applicants submitted, Social Security officials may get in touch with applicants for more information or make a document request.
