Depending on when you qualied for SSDI, you may receive Social Security Disability Insurance sooner or later. Another factor that may affect early payments is the fact that you are a Supplemental Security Income recipient or not.
Those who have filed for Social Security Disability Insurance after April 30, 1997, do not generally qualify for the first payment in March. There is an exception though. For example, you can get the first SSDI payment in March if you are also receiving Supplemental Security Income.
First SSDI payment in March 2025
The first payday for SSDI recipients will take place on March 3. This has been confirmed by Social Security on its payment schedule for March 2025. Only 2 groups of recipients can qualify for the payment on the 3rd.
If you started collecting Social Security Disability Insurance before May 1997, you will get your monthly check or direct deposit on March 3, 2025. If you did so later, there is still a chance to get it on the 3rd.
For your information, you will also receive the SSDI payment on the 3rd if you are currently receiving it while you are on SSI benefit payments in the United States.
Last SSDI payment in March 2025
Some recipients will receive the last Social Security Disability Insurance payment due on March 26, 2025. This is because they qualify for a check or direct deposit but they were born from the 21st to the 31st.
Social Security arranges the Wednesday payments using the birth date of the Disability Insurance recipients. The earlier in the month you were born, the sooner your Wednesday payment will arrive.
On average, the Disability Insurance payments for March will be about $1,580. Some beneficiaries may get up to $4,018 if they were high earners for 35 years and earned the taxable maximum all those years.
