As August comes to a close, eligible U.S. citizens may have the opportunity to receive up to two different checks, depending on their specific benefits. Americans who qualify for Disability benefits could potentially receive both checks if they meet the eligibility requirements. The exact payments you receive will depend on the retiree group you belong to.

Who Can Receive the Disability Payment for the Last Week of August?
The final week of August brings a crucial opportunity for some beneficiaries to receive their Disability payment. However, not everyone will receive this check. Only those who are part of the last group to collect their monthly benefits will receive the new August Disability check.
Payment Amounts
The amount of the Disability benefit can vary. For those receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) as part of their retirement, the benefit can be as high as $3,822. If you are receiving an age-related retirement benefit, the payment could go up to $4,873.
It’s essential to remember that the benefit amounts differ from one U.S. citizen to another. Therefore, it’s crucial to check your bank account to see if you’ve received your payment and determine if the amount aligns with your expected benefit.
Eligibility Criteria
To qualify for this payment, you must meet two key criteria:
- Your retirement benefit must have been accepted after May 1997.
- Your birthday must fall between the 21st and 31st of any month.
If you meet these requirements, you can expect the Social Security Administration to send your Disability or retirement benefit on August 28th.
An Extra Payment for Disability Beneficiaries is On the Way
Surprisingly, the payment on August 28th might not be the last one for citizens with a disability this month. On August 30th, there’s a possibility for another check to be issued to eligible individuals.

Supplemental Security Income Payment
The extra check on August 30th is not meant for retirees but for a different group of citizens. This payment is Supplemental Security Income (SSI), which is specifically for U.S. citizens facing financial hardship.
SSI payments are made monthly to individuals with limited income, offering up to $943. This benefit is not only available to those with disabilities but also to Americans aged 65 and older who meet the eligibility criteria.
As August wraps up, it’s important to stay informed about the payments you’re entitled to receive. Whether it’s the Disability benefit or Supplemental Security Income, make sure you understand the eligibility requirements and check your accounts to ensure you’ve received the correct amounts. If you haven’t received your payment by the end of the week, you may need to contact the Social Security Administration to claim it
