If you receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits, you’ll be glad to know that March payments will follow the same schedule as February. That means if your disability payment arrived on February 3, you can expect your next direct deposit or check to arrive on March 3, 2025.
SSDI Payment Schedule for March 2025
- If your SSDI payment was due on February 12, your next one will arrive on March 12.
- Those who received their SSDI benefits on February 19 will get their next payment on March 19.
- The final SSDI payments for both February and March will be sent on the 26th.
Who Qualifies for the March 3 SSDI Payment? The Social Security Administration (SSA) will issue SSDI payments on March 3 to:
- Beneficiaries who receive both Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
- Those who were approved for SSDI before May 1997.
If you do not meet these criteria, your payment will be based on your birth date:
- March 12: If you were born between the 1st and 10th.
- March 19: If you were born between the 11th and 20th.
- March 26: If you were born between the 21st and 31st.
Who Will Receive the Maximum SSDI Payment of $4,108 in March? Not all SSDI recipients qualify for the maximum benefit. To receive up to $4,108 in 2025, you must:
- Have earned the SSA’s contribution and benefit base for at least 35 years.
- Have worked in jobs covered by SSA.
- Have filed for SSDI at the required age to maximize benefits.
While the highest possible SSDI check is $4,108, the average payment for most beneficiaries is around $1,580 as of January 2024.
