RSDI (Retirement, Survivors, and Disability Insurance) payments are distributed by the Social Security Administration (SSA) to eligible individuals who have applied and been approved.
These payments are tied to the amount of payroll taxes individuals have paid during their working years, particularly for retirement and SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) benefits.
What Are RSDI Payments?
RSDI payments come in three categories:
- Retirement Benefits: These payments are for individuals who have retired and paid into the Social Security system during their working years.
- Survivor Benefits: These are for individuals who collect payments based on the deceased worker’s record, such as a surviving spouse receiving benefits after the passing of their partner who was enrolled in Social Security.
- Disability Benefits (SSDI): Paid to individuals who are unable to work due to a qualifying disability.
It’s essential to note that while retirement and SSDI benefits rely on your own payroll contributions, survivor benefits may be collected even if you have not worked, as long as the deceased person was enrolled in the system.
