The Social Security Administration (SSA) is set to send out the last round of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) payments for February 2025 on Wednesday, February 26. This payment will go to SSDI beneficiaries who were born between the 21st and 31st of any month. To be eligible for the February 26 payment, you must have had your SSDI benefits approved since May 1997.

If you started receiving SSDI before May 1997, you likely received your payment earlier in the month. The exact amount of your SSDI check will depend on your work history and the SSA’s calculations. However, the average SSDI payment in 2025 is around $1,537 per month.

This amount includes the 2.5% Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) increase for this year. To ensure you receive your payment on time, it’s important to have your direct deposit information up to date with the SSA.

Direct deposit is the quickest way to access your funds, usually within three days of the payment date. Without direct deposit, you may experience delays in receiving your check. If you’re unsure about the status of your payment or have questions about your eligibility, you can log in to your “my Social Security” account on the SSA website.

There, you’ll find personalized information about your SSDI benefits and payment schedule. It’s also crucial to be aware of potential scams. The SSA will never ask for your Social Security number or banking details over the phone or via email.

If someone claiming to be from the SSA requests this information, it’s likely a scam. SSDI payments are a vital source of income for millions of Americans with disabilities. By staying informed about the payment schedule and ensuring your information is up to date, you can help ensure you receive your benefits on time.
