If you’re receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits or Supplemental Security Income (SSI), understanding when you’ll receive your monthly payment is essential for managing your finances. Follow this link to the Social Security Administration website to see the schedule of benefits. Here’s a breakdown of the 2025 payment schedule and what you need to know about each program.
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) Payment Schedule
SSDI payment dates are based on your date of birth and follow a specific schedule:
- If your birthday falls between the 1st and 10th: You’ll receive your payment on the second Wednesday of each month.
- If your birthday falls between the 11th and 20th: You’ll receive your payment on the third Wednesday of each month.
- If your birthday falls between the 21st and 31st: You’ll receive your payment on the fourth Wednesday of each month.
Example Payment Dates for 2025:
- Second Wednesday (for birthdays between the 1st and 10th): January 8, February 12, March 12, etc.
- Third Wednesday (for birthdays between the 11th and 20th): January 15, February 19, March 19, etc.
- Fourth Wednesday (for birthdays between the 21st and 31st): January 22, February 26, March 26, etc.
If your payment date falls on a federal holiday, your benefits will typically be deposited the day before.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Payment Schedule
SSI payments are usually made on the first day of each month. However, if the first falls on a weekend or a federal holiday, you’ll receive your payment on the last business day of the previous month.
Example Payment Dates for 2025:
- January: December 31, 2024 (since January 1 is a holiday)
- February: February 1
- March: March 3 (since March 1 falls on a Saturday)
Key Differences Between SSDI and SSI Payments
While SSDI payments are tied to your date of birth and issued on Wednesdays, SSI payments follow a simpler schedule based on the first day of the month. It’s also worth noting that some individuals receive both SSDI and SSI benefits, which means you may receive payments on different dates.

How Are Payments Delivered?
The Social Security Administration (SSA) primarily uses direct deposit for benefit payments. If you’re enrolled in direct deposit, you can expect funds to be available in your account on the scheduled date. Alternatively, you can receive payments through a Direct Express Debit Mastercard or a mailed check, though the latter may take longer to arrive.
Tips for Managing Your Benefits
- Set Up Alerts: Most banks offer notifications when funds are deposited into your account.
- Check Your Payment Schedule: Refer to the SSA’s official 2025 payment calendar to confirm dates.
- Report Changes Promptly: Inform the SSA about changes in your banking information, address, or income to avoid delays in your payments.
