The Administration has confirmed that there will be a new payday for both retirees and SSDI recipients next week. Retirement benefit payments are higher than those for Disability Insurance. So, retirees could get about $1,976 on average and SSDI recipients about $1,580.
Thanks to the 2025 COLA increase retirement and disability benefit payments are 2.5% higher. Bear in mind that to get the payment from SSA next week, you must meet the birth date condition.
SSA to issue retirement and SSDI on Feb. 12
The Agency will deliver a new monthly payment on February 12. Thus, just 9 days after the first payday in February, there will be a new round next week. These checks and direct deposits will be for those whose birth date is from the 1st to the 10th.
Were you born before the 11th? If so, this will be your next retirement or SSDI payment. Do not forget that you will be eligible if you began receiving benefits after April 30, 1997, and if you are not on SSI as well.
For your information, all payments will be sent on time. Thus, if there is any delay or your check is lost, you should contact your financial institution first. Only call SSA if you have waited for 3 mailing days and your money has not arrived.
SSA’s payment schedule shows 2 more paydays for retirement or SSDI
There is no need to worry if you are not eligible for the February 12 payment. Actually, your check could be in your pocket on February 19 or even February 26, 2025.
Being born from the 11th to the 20th could make you eligible for the retirement or SSDI payment on February 19. Of course, filing and approval are required.
The last payment for either retirement or SSDI will be delivered on February 26. If your birthday falls from the 21st to the 31st, you will receive it on Feb. 26 said SSA.
