If you receive SSDI and you were born between the 1st to the 10th of a month, your payment can come on March 12, 2025. However, if you have yet to receive it, don’t worry. For some SSDI recipients, their payment date would be different, particularly if they began receiving payments after April 30, 1997 or if they do not receive SSI.
What is the maximum rate of SSDI payment?
People who have made high salaries for 35 years or more are eligible for a maximum payment of as much as $4,018 under SSDI. Yet this is reserved for a small percentage of American workers covered under the Social Security Disability Insurance program. Keep in mind that any disability will keep you from working, and specific requirements must be met to qualify under SSA rules.
Failed to receive SSDI on March 12? Know the new dates of payment
If you failed to receive an SSDI payment on March 12, don’t panic. The Social Security Administration has set two additional payment dates during the month of March 2025. This indicates that millions of Americans still have the opportunity to receive money in the form of retirement benefits or disability insurance.
If you were born between March 11th and March 20th, your SSDI payment will be on March 19, 2025. The SSA calculates the payment date according to each individual’s birthdate.
The final payment for SSDI in March 2025 will be on March 26. This payment will be for beneficiaries born between the 21st and 31st of any month.
What will be the average amount of SSDI payments?
The monthly payment amount for SSDI recipients for March 2025 has not been established yet, but it will be the same as the January 2025 amount. In January 2025, disability-insured workers received an average of $1,580.
If this amount is compared to the average payment for retirees, retirees receive an average of $400 more. As of January 2025, the average payment amount for retirees was $1,978.
How can families receiving SSDI get additional benefits?
If the spouse and children of the person receiving SSDI also qualify under Social Security, the total receipt amount of the family can increase. For example:
- The spouse of an individual with a disability gets $431 on average.
- The kids of an individual with a disability get $510 on average.
Conclusion
If you did not get an SSDI payment today, do not panic. The SSA has scheduled various payment dates in March, and your payment will be made based on your birth date. The highest you can receive is an SSDI payment of $4,018, but your average payment is much lower. If your family is also eligible under Social Security, you will receive extra assistance. Always check the official SSA website to verify your payment status.
