The Social Security Administration (SSA) provides financial help to people with disabilities through two programs: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). These programs ensure that people who cannot work due to disabilities can afford daily necessities.
On April 9, 2025, SSDI recipients will receive their next monthly payment, which includes a 2% Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) increase. This raise helps Social Security recipients keep up with inflation and rising living costs. No action is needed—payments will be sent automatically according to the SSA’s schedule.
Who Will Get Paid on April 9, 2025?
Not everyone receiving Social Security disability benefits will get their payment on April 9. Here’s who qualifies:
SSDI Recipients born between the 1st and 10th of any month
Payments sent via Direct Deposit or Mail (which takes 3-5 days longer)
SSI Recipients – Paid separately on April 1, 2025
SSDI Recipients Born After the 10th – Paid on later dates:
- April 16, 2025 (Born 11th-20th)
- April 23, 2025 (Born 21st-31st)
How Much Will You Receive?
The amount you receive depends on your work history and past earnings. Here’s an estimate of SSDI payments for 2025:
| Category | Average Monthly Payment | Maximum Monthly Payment |
|---|---|---|
| Individuals | $1,650 (est.) | $4,100 (est.) |
| Families (with dependents) | $2,900 (est.) | $6,000 (est.) |
For SSI Recipients (Paid April 1st):
| Category | Federal Base Rate | State Supplements |
|---|---|---|
| Individuals | $1,000 (est.) | Up to $250 extra (varies by state) |
| Couples | $1,500 (est.) | Varies by state |
Note: Final 2025 Social Security rates will be confirmed in October 2024 when the next COLA increase is announced.
