What To Know About Social Security Disability Payday Loans

Last updated: September 20, 2023

If you've ever been in a tight spot or needed cash for an emergency, you may have wondered if there are Social Security disability payday loans available for you. Is it possible to get a cash advance on your Social Security disability checks?

The answer might surprise you. Like traditional payday checks, you can get a loan based on your Social Security checks. However, there are risks you should be aware of. 

Getting A Personal Loan While On Disability

Getting A Personal Loan While On Disability

Payday loans are short-term loans aimed at low-income individuals. They're often less than $500 and have fees ranging from $10 to $30 for every $100 borrowed. Borrowers will issue a check for the payment amount plus fees to the lender to get the amount of borrowed cash. The lender will cash in the check on the borrower's payday. 

As long as the lender can verify that the borrower receives monthly payments, like payday and assistance benefits, they will surely issue a payday loan. This way, you can easily get a short-term cash advance on disability payments as long as your monthly cash receipts are high enough to cover the requested loan amount. Although a lender will also pay attention to your debt-to-income ratio, it will consider any verifiable payments you receive on a monthly basis as income for a loan.

For this reason, they welcome disability beneficiaries because of the stable monthly benefits that assure them you can repay the loan. A stable income is a primary criterion for getting approved. Other eligibility factors — like the amount of benefit or income you make in a month — determine how much money you can borrow.

Here are the loan networks that offer payday loans for those with disability benefits

If you can't find a lender, the platform can offer other forms of loans like debt relief, credit repair, and similar services. As soon as you accept an offer, the funds are deposited straight into your checking account within the next business day.

Understanding Cash Advance Loans 

Understanding Payday Loans

Payday loans are a type of cash advance loan. They're convenient and fast to get. 

However, there's a high cost to this convenience. As mentioned above, for every $100 borrowed, the typical fees range from $10 to $30. In one year, that's an annual percentage rate (APR) of 400 percent, which is way higher than the credit card APR of 16 percent. If not managed properly (i.e., if a borrower keeps borrowing every two-week payday and won't have enough to repay the principal), this type of loan can balloon and put someone in a bind. 

For people with disabilities living off their social security benefits, this can be a tough position to be in. 

When taking out a personal loan while on disability, ensure that you understand the fees and only plan to use this strategy to augment a short-term urgent need for cash. Otherwise, consider other means to secure a loan. 

If you're an injured veteran, you can also qualify for a VA loan. Learn the details in our complete guide to getting a VA loan.
