The Social Security Administration (SSA) has announced that it will distribute RSDI payments on March 19 and March 26, 2025.
Depending on your birth date, you may receive your payment either this week or the next. It’s important to know which dates apply to you and how the payment amounts are determined.
Who Won’t Qualify for the Remaining Payments in March?
If you have already received your RSDI payment in March, you won’t be eligible for any of the two remaining payments. The average payment for recipients varies based on factors such as work history and the age at which you file.
On average, the payment amount is $1,837, but it may be higher or lower depending on individual circumstances.
RSDI Payments on March 19, 2025
For those born between the 1st and 10th of the month, the Social Security Administration has confirmed that March 19 will be the date your RSDI payment is issued. Note that filing and approval are necessary to receive the payment. However, if you are receiving SSI, you will not qualify for this payment.
- Retirement Benefits: On March 19, 2025, retirees will receive an average of $1,978. This is the highest average payment of the three groups.
- Survivors’ Benefits: Individuals receiving survivors’ benefits will get an average payment of $1,546. This is significantly lower than retirement benefits.
- Disability Insurance: For those receiving disability insurance, the average payment is $1,580.
Payment for Those Born After the 20th
If your birth date falls after the 20th of the month, you will need to wait for the last payment in March, which will be made on March 26.
Final RSDI Payment Date: March 26, 2025
For individuals born between March 21st and March 31st, the final RSDI payment will be issued on March 26, 2025. The payment amounts remain consistent across the different groups.
Maximum Social Security Payment for March 2025
The maximum Social Security benefit for individuals who file for retirement at the age of 70 is $5,108.
However, this is only achievable if you have worked for 35 years in jobs covered by SSA. If your work history is shorter than 35 years, your benefit will be reduced accordingly.
For those with disabilities, there are no alternatives to RSDI payments, and SSI recipients will need to wait for their payment in April.
