March 3, 2025, was set aside for payment to some beneficiaries under the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) plan. The following date marks payday for two categories of Disability Insurance recipients in the country.
And if you’re one of those that received their payment on this date, the Social Security Administration (SSA) has given a prompt to inform you that your next payment will fall due on April 3, 2025.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is more than just a term beside SSDI. Many people become eligible under SSDI but still need enough help supplementally.
Supplemental Security Income, therefore, is another income resource, which some SSDI beneficiaries may be able to draw due to being eligible for both programs.
According to Social Security’s payment schedule, SSI payment is set on April 1, 2025. Thus, if a person becomes eligible under both SSDI and SSI, they will receive two payments, the first on April 1 and the second one on April 3.
SSDI recipients who received payments in March can expect their April $1,580 deposit soon. Find out your payment date and how to track your benefits.
What is the Average SSI Payment?
For most SSI recipients, the average payment is around $714. For those aged 18-64, the average payment is closer to $762. This money can be a critical cash flow lifeline to those who draw lower SSDI amounts.
When Will SSDI Payments Arrive in April 2025?
For SSDI beneficiaries, however, different payment dates will apply according to the start date of the benefits:
- April 3, 2025: If you have been on Disability Insurance benefits prior to May 1997, you will receive your check on this date.
- April 9, 2025: This date applies to individuals who meet the birthday requirement. If your birthday falls during the first ten days of the month, you qualify for the April 9 payment.
If your birthday falls after the 10th of the month, you will receive your payment on either April 16 or April 23, 2025.
Dividends and Maximums for SSDI during April 2025
Though the most money anyone could possibly have received as SSDI in 2015 was $4,018 on average, the sum changes according to average individual payment. The average SSDI payment is around $1,580 as of January 2025.
All the Disability Insurance payments are 2.5 percent higher than the amounts of 2024 because of the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) increase of 2025. This rise is expected to give SSDI recipients much-needed financial relief.
