August 2025 brings new payment dates for beneficiaries of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) in the United States. According to the official schedule released by the Social Security Administration (SSA), SSDI payments will continue to be made based on the beneficiary’s birthdate.
When is the First Deposit Made?
The first SSDI payment for August will be made on Wednesday, August 14, 2025. This date is for beneficiaries whose birthdays fall between the 1st and the 10th of any month. This group will be the first to receive their monthly payment, followed by two other groups in subsequent weeks.
Payment Dates by Date of Birth
Here’s the breakdown of the SSDI payment schedule for August:
August 14: Beneficiaries born between the 1st and 10th.
August 21: Beneficiaries born between the 11th and 20th.
August 28: Beneficiaries born between the 21st and 31st.
If you have been receiving benefits since before May 1997, or if you also receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI), your payment will be made on August 2, regardless of your date of birth.
What to Do If the Payment Does Not Arrive?
If your payment doesn’t arrive on the scheduled date, the SSA recommends waiting at least three business days before reporting it as missing. In the event of delays, you can contact your local Social Security office directly or check the status of your payment online through the official SSA portal.
The Importance of Keeping Information Up to Date
To avoid any issues with receiving your SSDI payments, it’s crucial to keep your bank and contact information up to date with the SSA. If there are any changes to your direct deposit account, make sure to report them in advance so that your payment arrives without delay.
