IOn February 2025, the SSA will send out a minimum of $1,580 of disability insurance SSDI benefit to those who receive disability insurance benefits through Social Security. This benefit pay date is specific and is being sent on one of four possible dates.
Check your first date for pay: February 3, 2025
If you applied for SSDI and received disability insurance benefits before May 1997, you will receive your first payment on February 3, 2025. If you received this benefit later, you may still be eligible. However, you must be receiving both Social Security disability insurance and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits at the same time. In this case, February 3 will be set as your next payday.
Impact of COLA on SSDI payments
The Social Security Administration has ensured that the average payment in February will be at about $1,580. This will incorporate the 2025 COLA, which brings the payments into being 2.5% higher than in the year 2024. So, this can bring extra help in cost-of-living for persons already receiving the SSDI benefit.
Other family members may also come in handy
If you are getting SSDI disability benefits, this amount also can be claimed by your spouse. But this is normally up to $431.66 as on the data provided in December 2024, which is much less than the amount of the main beneficiary.
In addition, if your children are eligible to receive benefits under SSDI on your record, they can receive an average of $509.19. Thus, SSDI benefits for children may be slightly higher, but still less than the amount set for a spouse.
The Social Security Administration has confirmed three more SSDI payment dates in February: February 12, February 19, and February 26, 2025. Remember that the recipient of benefits on these dates should not be receiving SSI and must have received a payment after April 30, 1997.
When will you receive a payment?
If your birth date falls between February 1 and 10, then your next SSDI payment will be on February 12, 2025.
If your birthday falls between February 11 and 20, then your payment will be on February 19.
If your birthday falls between February 21 and 31, then your SSDI payment will fall on February 26.
Conclusion
SSI beneficiaries receive payments on four given dates in February 2025. On this date, such beneficiaries will receive their average of around $1,580, provided with COLA increases. But there may be spouses and children benefits where the amount goes to them only, though such an amount will, however, go less than that being received by a primary beneficiary in case you get eligible to receive that amount on a payday.
