Here’s the full breakdown of how SSDI payments are structured and what to expect in the coming week.

Key Details & Figures
- The last SSDI disbursement for beneficiaries with birthdays on the 21st–31st arrives Wednesday, August 28, 2025—that’s your final August check.
- Early or special‑case beneficiaries—those who started receiving benefits before May 1997, those who receive both SSDI and SSI, or state‑paid Medicare—get their payment on August 1.
- Beneficiaries with birth dates 1–10 get paid on August 13, while those with dates 11–20 receive their check on August 20.
- The maximum SSDI benefit for 2025 is $4,018 monthly, thanks to the 2.5% Cost‑of‑Living Adjustment (COLA).
- Average SSDI payout ranges from approximately $1,580 to $1,590 per month.
- SSI recipients will receive two payments in August (their regular August check and an early September check on August 29, due to Labor Day) —though these are SSI, not SSDI.
Why These Dates Matter
Understanding your payment schedule allows you to:
- Budget effectively for essential needs—housing, medical, utilities.
- Avoid missed bills or overdraft fees by planning for the specific deposit day.
- Stay alert for any delays or deductions, especially in light of recent SSA rule changes.
The last SSDI payment for August 2025—for those born between the 21st and 31st—is set for August 28. Other groups follow their respective disbursement dates earlier in the month: August 1, 13, and 20.
With the maximum benefit at $4,018, and average payouts around $1,580–$1,590, September is still giving one more boost to SSI recipients—but SSDI checks wrap up next week.
