SSDI Payment Schedule: Late May and Early June 2025

June 3, 2025Began receiving benefits before May 1997 or receiving both SSDI and SSI

Note: If your payment doesn’t arrive on the expected date, the SSA advises allowing three additional mailing days before contacting them.

SSDI Benefit Amounts for 2025

The amount of Social Security Disability Insurance benefits varies based on an individual’s earnings history. For 2025:

  • Maximum SSDI Benefit: $4,018 per month
  • Average SSDI Benefit: Approximately $1,751.08 per month

These amounts are influenced by factors such as the number of years worked and the amount of Social Security taxes paid.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Payments

For those receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI):

  • May 30, 2025: SSI payment for June 2025 (issued early since June 1 falls on a Sunday)
  • June 3, 2025: SSDI payment for those also receiving SSI

Maximum SSI amounts for 2025 are $967 for individuals and $1,450 for couples.

Important Considerations

  • Eligibility: Only beneficiaries who have been approved and remain eligible will receive payments. If your disability status changes, it’s essential to report it to the SSA to avoid overpayments.
  • Payment Method: Payments are typically made via direct deposit or mailed checks.
  • Garnishments: Starting in June 2025, some beneficiaries may experience a 15% garnishment on their benefits due to unpaid federal student loans.

Staying informed about the SSDI payment schedule and understanding your eligibility ensures timely access to your benefits. Always keep your information updated with the SSA and monitor your payments to address any discrepancies promptly.
