Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) payments are typically disbursed on the third day of each month, as well as on the second, third, and fourth Wednesdays.
To receive these payments, individuals must meet specific eligibility criteria, including having a disability that prevents them from working for more than one year and having worked in jobs covered by the Social Security Administration (SSA).
Eligibility Criteria for SSDI Payments
To qualify for SSDI payments, individuals must have worked for a certain number of years. However, in some cases, the number of years required can be significantly less, particularly for those with medical conditions.
- For retirement benefits at the age of 62, a worker typically needs 40 work credits, which amounts to about ten years of work and tax payments.
- However, workers who experience disability in their 30s may qualify for SSDI with only 2 to 4 years of work.
Scheduled SSDI Payments in 2025
SSDI recipients who began receiving benefits after April 30, 1997 and are not receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) will receive their monthly SSDI payments on one of the designated Wednesdays. The exact payment date depends on the individual’s birth date:
- For SSDI recipients born between the 11th and 20th, the payment will be made on June 18, 2025.
- For those born after the 20th, the payment will be made on June 25, 2025.
If your birthday falls between 21st and 31st, you will receive your payment on June 25, which is the last scheduled payment date in June.
SSDI Payments in July 2025
For those who have been receiving SSDI benefits since before May 1997, the July payment will be issued on July 3, 2025. Additionally, beneficiaries receiving both SSDI and SSI will also receive their payment on this same date.
- Individuals who received their SSDI payments on June 11 will see their next payment on July 9, which is the second Wednesday of the month. This applies to those born between 1st and 10th of the month.
Payment Amounts for SSDI in 2025
In 2025, SSDI payments can reach as high as $4,018 per month, although this is rare. Only a small percentage of recipients will qualify for this maximum amount. On average, the monthly SSDI payment for recipients is closer to $1,581 as of May 2025.
Additionally, spouses and children of SSDI recipients can also qualify for payments:
- Spouses may receive an average of $440.
- Children can receive $512.
These amounts are based on the worker’s record and are intended to help support the family members of the disabled individual.
In 2025, SSDI payments will continue to provide essential financial support to those who are unable to work due to long-term disabilities. Knowing when to expect your payment can help you plan better financially.
The amount you receive depends on your work history, medical condition, and whether you have any dependents who qualify for additional benefits.
