WPBN: The dates of SSDI payouts are January 3, 8, 15, and 22. The 2025 COLA rise will be included in all of these Social Security Disability Insurance benefits. For those who are unaware, the cost-of-living adjustment will result in a 2.5% increase in disability compensation.
Keep in mind that before you may get Disability Insurance benefits, you must have submitted and received approval from the SSA. Once you’re eligible, you can keep getting them as long as you’re still eligible.
SSDI payments totaling $1,580, Who is eligible to get them?
Starting disability benefits before May 1997 will result in average payments of $1,580 from the Social Security Administration (SSA) on January 3. In December 2024, their average value is $1,542.
There are other ways to be eligible for these monthly payments, though. In fact, if they are receiving Social Security at the same time, recipients of Supplemental Security Income can also receive an SSDI check on January 3.
Remember that in order to be eligible for one of the other three payments, people who did not qualify for SSDI on January 3 will need to fulfill the birthdate criteria.

SSDI benefits after January 3
Regardless of the month of birth, beneficiaries whose birthday falls between January 1 and January 10 will be eligible to receive their Social Security Disability Insurance benefits on January 11. Payroll for the third Wednesday will be paid on January 18. However, it will only be sent to people who were born between November 11 and December 20.
Lastly, January 25 is when some SSDI beneficiaries will pick up their monthly payout. Regardless of the month, this will be the payout date for everyone born between 21 and 31. Certain disability benefits will exceed the norm.
This is feasible if the employee had a high salary and had the time to pay SSA taxes for more than 35 years. Actually, the highest SSDI payout in 2025 might total up to $4,018.
