The last date for Retirement, Survivor, and Disability Insurance (RSDI) payments to millions of people in the US has been set for March 26, 2025. This is the fourth Wednesday of March and on this day Social Security will deposit money into the accounts of eligible beneficiaries.
In addition, some RSDI recipients are also expected to receive IRS tax refunds. Those who have completed their 2024 tax return filing on time and correctly can also receive their tax refund this week.
Conditions to receive RSDI payment on March 26
If you want to receive RSDI payment on March 26, 2025, you must meet the following conditions:
- Your date of birth must be between 21 and 31.
- You must have started receiving payments from Social Security after April 30, 1997.
- You must not be receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
If you meet all of these conditions, your payment will be deposited directly into your bank account on March 26.
IRS tax refund and RSDI payment could come on the same day!
This is the last RSDI payment of March, but some lucky people may also get their IRS tax refund on March 26.
Those who filed their tax returns electronically by March 5, 2025 and selected a bank account for deposit may get their refund on March 26.
If you filed your tax return before this date, your refund could come even earlier.
