If you’re waiting on your SSDI payment and haven’t seen it hit your account yet, there’s good news—your money is on the way. The last Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) payment for June 2025 is scheduled for Wednesday, June 25. This payment closes out the month but also kicks off the summer season for many Americans relying on these essential funds.

Recipients
So, who gets this June 25 payment? It goes to individuals who meet two specific criteria. First, you must have started receiving Social Security benefits after May 1997. Second, your birthday needs to fall between the 21st and 31st of any month. This group is known as Group 4, and it’s always the last to get paid each month.
If you fall into this category and have Direct Deposit set up or use the Direct Express debit card, your payment should land in your account right on schedule—June 25, 2025.
Schedule
Getting used to the SSDI payment schedule can be a bit confusing, especially if you’re newly retired at age 62 or just started receiving disability payments. But the Social Security Administration follows a predictable structure once you know your group.
Here’s a quick breakdown of how SSDI payment dates work:
| Birthday Range | Payment Date in July 2025 |
|---|---|
| 1st–10th | Wednesday, July 10 |
| 11th–20th | Wednesday, July 17 |
| 21st–31st | Wednesday, July 24 |
| Before May 1997 | Wednesday, July 3 |
If you didn’t receive your June 25 payment, don’t panic. July is just around the corner, and your date might fall within that next round.
Maximum
Now, let’s talk about how much you might receive. The average SSDI benefit as of May 2025 is $1,581. However, the actual amount varies depending on your work history and income over your lifetime. The maximum you could receive in June 2025 is up to $4,018 per month.
But that top-tier payment isn’t common. To qualify for the max SSDI benefit, you must have:
- Worked for at least 35 years
- Paid Social Security taxes on the maximum taxable income
- Held jobs covered by the SSA (Social Security Administration)
This makes it tough for younger disabled workers—especially those who became disabled early in life—to qualify for the full benefit. If you began collecting SSDI in your 20s or 30s, your payments will likely be lower due to fewer years in the workforce and lower lifetime earnings.
Requirements
SSDI isn’t just about age—it’s about work credits and contributions. You must have worked in jobs that paid Social Security taxes and earned enough credits, which usually means working for about 10 years. The earlier you start contributing and the longer you do, the higher your benefit might be.
This system ensures that SSDI supports those who have participated in the workforce while still helping those who can no longer work due to disabilities.
What to Do
If you’re expecting a payment and don’t see it by the end of the day on June 25, don’t worry just yet. Give it a day or two for bank processing. If it’s still missing after that, contact the SSA or check your My Social Security account for updates. Make sure your Direct Deposit information is accurate and up to date.
Also, stay aware of the future payment dates so you can better plan your monthly budget. These payments are vital for millions of Americans and are scheduled to land like clockwork.
