The Social Security Administration (SSA) will send out new disability payments next Wednesday. If you receive benefits from Social Security, you might be eligible for this new check. Let’s go through the details to see if you qualify and how you can get your payment.
When is the New Payment Date?
The new disability payment will be sent out on July 17th. This date is important because it’s the third Wednesday of the month, which is when the SSA makes some of its payments. To get this payment, you need to meet two requirements.
Requirements for the July 17th Disability Payment
First Requirement: Benefit Start Date
To receive the payment on July 17th, you must have been receiving your benefit since May 1997 or any time after that. This means you should have started getting your disability or retirement benefits on or after that date.
Second Requirement: Birthdate
The second requirement is related to your birthday. To get the payment on July 17th, your birthday must be between the 11th and the 20th of any month. If you meet both of these requirements, you will receive the payment on July 17th.
How Payments Work if You Don’t Meet the Requirements
If you don’t meet these requirements, you will still get your check, but on a different day. The SSA sends out disability payments on four different days each month. So, even if you don’t qualify for the July 17th payment, you will receive your money on another day within the same month.
Getting Your Payment Faster with Direct Deposit
To get your disability payment as quickly as possible, you should use Direct Deposit. If you have Direct Deposit activated, your payment will go directly into your bank account on July 17th. If you don’t have Direct Deposit, you will have to wait a few days for the check to arrive.

- Your birthday is between the 11th and 20th of any month.
