Understanding Eligibility Requirements to Qualify for the Remaining Social Security Payments This Month
Hey Hustlers! Wondering about the exact dates for the remaining Social Security payments this month? We at HustleHub have you covered with all the crucial details to keep you informed and ahead of the game.
Upcoming Payment Dates

- Second Batch:Â July 17 (for those born between the 11th and 20th of any month)
- Third Batch:Â July 24 (for those born between the 21st and 31st of any month)
Eligibility Requirements
To qualify for Social Security benefits, whether they are retirement or disability payments, you must meet specific criteria:
Retirement Benefits
- Work History:Â You need to have worked and paid Social Security taxes for a significant portion of your life. Typically, 40 credits (approximately 10 years of work) are required to qualify.
- Age:Â Benefits can start as early as age 62, but the full retirement age (FRA) varies based on birth year.
| Age to Start Benefits | Monthly Benefit Amount |
|---|---|
| 62 | Reduced |
| 67 (FRA) | Full Benefit |
| 70 | Increased |
Disability Benefits
- Work Credits:Â Like retirement benefits, disability benefits also require a certain number of work credits, which vary based on your age at the time of disability.
- Medical Criteria: You must have a medical condition that meets the SSA’s definition of disability, meaning it significantly limits your ability to perform basic work activities for at least a year.
| Age to Start Benefits | Monthly Benefit Amount |
|---|---|
| Any qualifying age | Based on earnings |
Payment Methods
The SSA primarily uses two methods to ensure timely and secure delivery of benefits:
- Direct Deposit:Â Funds are electronically transferred to your bank account.
- Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT):Â For those without bank accounts, funds can be loaded onto a government-issued card.
