The Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) payments for April 2025 will follow a predetermined schedule based on the beneficiary’s date of birth, as confirmed by the Social Security Administration (SSA).
Payments will be distributed across three Wednesdays in the month: April 9, April 16, and April 23. Beneficiaries who are receiving benefits before May 1997 may have different payment dates, though these cases are rare.

- April 16: Beneficiaries born between the 11th and 20th of any month
- April 23: Beneficiaries born between the 21st and 31st of any month
These dates are consistent with the SSA’s schedule, which is determined by the beneficiary’s birth month. Payments are made starting at 12:01 a.m. on the assigned date.

Direct Deposits and Delays
Direct deposits will be processed starting at 12:01 a.m. on the assigned payment date. If any delays occur, SSA recommends contacting your bank first to check for any issues.
If the problem persists, you can reach out to the SSA via their helpline at 1-800-772-1213 or TTY 1-800-325-0778. If you receive a physical check, it may take up to three business days after the scheduled date to arrive.
For those living outside the United States or receiving concurrent Supplemental Security Income (SSI), payments will be processed on April 3, regardless of the usual schedule.
The exact payment amount depends on factors like work history, indexed average earnings (AIME), and the age at which the individual became disabled.
SSDI and SSI Payment Dates
If you receive both SSDI and SSI, your SSI payment will typically be delivered on the 3rd of each month. However, if the 3rd falls on a weekend or holiday, the payment will be processed on the next available business day.
In April 2025, the SSI payment has already been issued, as the 3rd fell on a Saturday. The next payment will be made on May 2, 2025, since May 3rd is a Saturday.
What to Do If Your Payment Is Delayed
If you do not receive your payment on the expected date, SSA recommends waiting three business days before taking further action.
After this waiting period, you should file a claim with the SSA, either by phone, through Login.gov, or by visiting one of their offices.
Veterans Affairs (VA) Benefit Payments
If you or a family member receives Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits, your payment is issued on the 1st of each month. For instance, the April 1, 2025, payment was processed on April 1. The next VA payment will be made on May 1, 2025.
The April 2025 SSDI payments will follow the same schedule as in previous years, with payments distributed according to the beneficiary’s birth date. The 2.5% COLA increase ensures that recipients see a rise in their benefits.
However, if you experience any delays, the SSA recommends contacting your bank first and waiting three business days before reaching out to their help center. By understanding the payment schedule and the steps to take in case of delays, beneficiaries can manage their SSDI benefits with ease.
