Posted by Millions of Americans rely on Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) for financial support.
As of April 2025, many eligible beneficiaries are expected to receive direct deposits worth approximately $1,580 on either April 23 or May 2, depending on their circumstances.
Let’s break down who qualifies for each date, how much you can expect, and the full schedule ahead.
Who Will Get SSDI on April 23, 2025?
The Social Security Administration (SSA) issues staggered payments depending on the recipient’s birthdate.
If you were born between the 21st and 31st of any month, and began receiving benefits after April 30, 1997, your Social Security Disability Insurance payment will be deposited on Wednesday, April 23, 2025.
You won’t receive this payment on April 23 if:
- You’re receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
- You started receiving benefits before May 1997
- You are no longer medically eligible
- You violated SSA rules
This is the final SSDI payment for April 2025, following deposits made on April 3, April 9, and April 16.
Who Gets SSDI on May 2, 2025?
If you started receiving SSDI before May 1997, then your next payday is Friday, May 2, 2025. Although May payments are typically made on the third of the month, that date falls on a Saturday, so the SSA will deposit benefits a day early.
This May 2 payment will not apply to recipients who began collecting Social Security Disability Insurance after April 30, 1997. For them, different dates apply based on their birthdate.
Future SSDI Payment Dates in May 2025
For those who don’t qualify for the May 2 direct deposit, the SSA will disburse payments on the following Wednesdays:
| Birth Date Range | Payment Date |
|---|---|
| 1st – 10th | May 14, 2025 |
| 11th – 20th | May 21, 2025 |
| 21st – 31st | May 28, 2025 |
If you received your April payment on April 23, your next Social Security Disability Insurance check will be on May 28, 2025.
How Much Will SSDI Beneficiaries Receive?
The average monthly SSDI payment as reported recently by the SSA is approximately $1,580. However, your actual benefit may vary depending on:
- Your work history
- Lifetime earnings
- The age you became disabled
If you qualify for SSI and Social Security Disability Insurance, note that SSI payments are scheduled for May 1 and May 30, 2025.
Payment Delays: What You Should Know
Even if the SSA processes payments on time, banks and financial institutions might experience delays. It’s recommended to wait at least three business days after your expected payment date before contacting the SSA about missing funds.
If you’re receiving Social Security Disability Insurance benefits, your next payment could be right around the corner—April 23 or May 2, based on your eligibility and benefit start date.
Keep in mind the $1,580 average payment, future May payment dates, and when to expect SSI if you’re eligible for both programs. Monitoring your payment schedule can ensure you’re always prepared.
