The Social Security Administration (SSA) follows a set calendar for sending out monthly payments. For August 2025, the last SSDI payment will be made on Wednesday, August 28. This final round of payments will go to beneficiaries born between the 21st and 31st of any month.
Who Gets Paid on August 28, 2025?
The August 28 payment is reserved for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) beneficiaries with birthdays between the 21st and 31st. Under the SSA’s staggered payment system, this group is always the last to receive funds each month.
Requirements to Receive SSDI
Not everyone qualifies for SSDI. To receive benefits, you must:
Have worked and paid into Social Security for a required number of years
Meet the SSA’s strict medical disability criteria
Have a condition that prevents you from doing substantial work
Have a disability expected to last at least one year or result in death
How Much Can Beneficiaries Receive in 2025?
SSDI benefit amounts depend on your past earnings and work contributions. For 2025:
The average monthly SSDI benefit is about $1,537
The maximum monthly benefit is $5,108 for those with high past earnings and long work histories
This wide range shows that payments are tailored to each individual’s contributions.
How to Check If You’ll Get Paid
Beneficiaries can track their payment status through the My Social Security account at SSA.gov. You can also enable email or text notifications to get real-time updates about deposits.
Impact of the 2025 COLA Increase
Yes, the Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) directly affects SSDI payments. In January 2025, payments were increased to match inflation, ensuring beneficiaries maintain their purchasing power. This increase is already reflected in current deposits.
Last SSDI Payment of August
The August 28 disbursement is the final chance in August 2025 for SSDI beneficiaries to receive their monthly payment. To avoid issues, it’s important to keep your bank account details updated in the SSA system. This helps prevent delays or errors when transfers are made.
The Social Security Administration’s August 2025 schedule ends with the SSDI payment on August 28, targeting those born between the 21st and 31st.
With an average benefit of $1,537 and a maximum of $5,108, the system ensures payments reflect both contribution history and inflation adjustments. For beneficiaries, staying informed about dates and keeping their SSA account updated is the best way to receive funds on time.
