This article provides an overview of the schedule for the July’s Social Security Disability Insurance payments. Those who have been receiving SSDI prior to May 1997 typically receive payment on the third day of each month. However, the exact time can shift if the third day falls on a holiday or weekend. Those who receive Supplemental Security Income and SSDI will get their SSDI payment on the third of every month, and their SSI payment on the first of the month. For those who started receiving SSDI after May 1997, payment dates are set based on their birth date and are typically paid out on the second, third, and fourth Wednesdays.

The Cost of Living Adjustment introduced in 2025 has led to a 2.5% increase in monthly benefit checks, but the exact increase depends on various factors such as monthly income, the duration of benefits received, and the type of benefit received. Information on how this increase affects particular recipients should have been provided in a COLA notice in December.

Websites such as eddcaller.com provide information on how to contact a live person at the EDD in California.
