SSDI payments will be issued on January 3, 8, 15 and 22. All these Social Security Disability Insurance payments will include the 2025 COLA increase. For those unaware of the amount of this boost, disability benefits will go up by 2.5% thanks to the cost-of-living adjustment.
Remember that it is essential to have filed and gotten SSA’s approval before receiving Disability Insurance benefits. Once you qualify, you can continue receiving them as long as you remain eligible.
SSDI checks worth $1,580 – Who can receive them?
The Social Security Administration (SSA) will issue average payments worth $1,580 on January 3 if you begin collecting disability benefits before May 1997. They are worth $1,542 on average in December 2024.
However, this is not the only way to qualify for these monthly payments. As a matter of fact, Supplemental Security Income recipients can also get an SSDI check on January 3 if they are receiving Social Security simultaneously.
Bear in mind that those who do not qualify for SSDI on January 3 will need to meet the birth date requirement to be eligible for one of the other three payments.
