The Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program will continue its scheduled payments throughout September 2025.
The first round of deposits is set for Wednesday, September 10, when eligible beneficiaries will receive their money. Depending on their work history and lifetime contributions, some individuals may collect as much as $5,108.
Who Will Be Paid on September 10?
The Social Security Administration (SSA) distributes monthly benefits according to beneficiaries’ birth dates:
- Born between the 1st and 10th → Paid on the second Wednesday of the month (September 10).
- This group includes SSDI recipients as well as retirees who do not receive SSI.
Estimated SSDI Benefit Amounts
The actual payment varies depending on earnings history and the number of years worked:
- The average SSDI benefit in 2025 is about $1,580 per month.
- The maximum monthly benefit can reach $5,108, generally reserved for those who worked 35 years or more with the highest taxable income.
Remaining September 2025 Payment Dates
Beyond the September 10 distribution, there are two additional payment dates this month:
- Wednesday, September 17 → For individuals born between the 11th and 20th.
- Wednesday, September 24 → For those born between the 21st and 31st.
Additionally, beneficiaries who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or those who started receiving benefits before May 1997 were paid on September 3.
What If Your Payment Doesn’t Arrive?
If your scheduled deposit doesn’t show up, the SSA recommends waiting at least three business days before taking action. After that, you can:
- Visit ssa.gov to track your benefit status.
- Contact your local Social Security office directly for assistance.
Start of the Monthly SSDI Cycle
The September 10 payment marks the beginning of the monthly Social Security cycle. Beneficiaries born earlier in the month will receive funds on this date, while others will get theirs on September 17 or September 24. To avoid confusion, it’s best to check the official SSA payment calendar regularly.
The SSDI September 2025 payment schedule ensures that millions of Americans with disabilities receive their benefits on time. Payments depend on your date of birth, contribution history, and whether you also receive SSI benefits. With deposits ranging from the average $1,580 to a possible $5,108, staying informed about your payment date is key to proper financial planning.
