The Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program continues to issue benefits in May. Payments will be made through direct deposits for those who selected this payment method, while others might still be receiving paper checks. The payment dates are set according to an individual’s birthdate, with three different paydays to manage the distribution.

For instance, if your birthdate falls between the 1st and 10th of a month, your SSDI payment will be deposited on May 14, 2025. However, being eligible for this payment date means you cannot simultaneously be receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI), as these recipients receive their next payment on June 3, 2025.

When calculating the amount to be received, several factors come into play. These include the number of years you have worked, your past salaries, the age when you started receiving benefits, and whether your jobs were covered by Social Security. Hence, if you worked only for a few years or had average earnings due to an early onset of disability in your 20s or 30s, you might receive a lower than average payment. Conversely, if you were a high earner for 35 years under SSA coverage and claimed SSDI late, the benefit can reach up to $4,018.

The SSDI payments are issued once a month. Being eligible for one payday, like May 14, rules out eligibility for the other two payment dates. To receive the SSDI payment on May 21, you must meet specific conditions set by the SSDI program. Similarly, you would receive your next SSDI payment on May 28 if you meet the first four requirements, but your birthdate falls between the 21st to the 31st.
