The Social Security Administration (SSA) has confirmed that Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) payments were distributed to some beneficiaries on March 3, 2025. This marks the payment date for two specific groups of SSDI recipients in the United States.
For those who received their March payment on this date, SSA has assured that the next SSDI payment will arrive as scheduled on April 3, 2025, without any delays.
Understanding Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Its Connection to SSDI
Many individuals receiving SSDI may find that their monthly benefits are insufficient to cover all their essential needs. In such cases, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) offers an additional financial cushion. Some SSDI beneficiaries qualify for both programs and receive SSI alongside their SSDI payments.
According to SSA’s payment calendar, SSI payments for April 2025 are scheduled for April 1. This means that individuals eligible for both SSDI and SSI will receive two separate payments—one on April 1 and another on April 3.
Expected SSI Payment Amounts in April 2025
The average SSI payment varies by recipient category:
- The general average SSI payment is around $714.
- For individuals aged 18-64, the average SSI amount is approximately $762.
These payments provide critical financial support to beneficiaries who receive lower SSDI amounts.
SSDI Payment Schedule for April 2025
SSDI payment dates depend on when a beneficiary started receiving benefits and their birth date. Here’s the breakdown:
- April 3, 2025: Payment date for those who have been receiving SSDI benefits since before May 1997.
- April 9, 2025: Payment date for beneficiaries whose birth dates fall between the 1st and 10th of the month.
- April 16, 2025: Payment date for beneficiaries born between the 11th and 20th of the month.
- April 23, 2025: Payment date for beneficiaries born between the 21st and 31st of the month.

Although the maximum SSDI payment was $4,018 in 2015, most recipients receive a lower amount. As of January 2025, the average SSDI payment is about $1,580.
With the 2025 Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA), all SSDI payments are 2.5% higher than in 2024, providing extra financial relief to beneficiaries.
