The US government has today confirmed that RSDI (Retirement, Survivor, and Disability Insurance) beneficiaries will be paid $1,839 on April 3, 2025. New recipients of these monthly payments should know that this payment is for Social Security recipients whose benefits started prior to May 1997.
RSDI and SSI Payment Dates
If you are paid SSI (Supplemental Security Income) on April 1, your Social Security check or direct deposit will also be credited on April 3. But this can only happen if you qualify for both benefits.
Other RSDI Payments in April
If you do not qualify for payment on April 3, no need to panic. Other RSDI payments are due on April 9, April 16, and April 23.
- Beneficiaries who were born between the 1st and 10th of January will have payments on April 9, 2025.
- Beneficiaries who were born between the 11th and 20th of January will be paid on April 16, 2025.
- Beneficiaries born between the 21st and 31st of January will be paid on April 23, 2025.
RSDI and SSI payment amounts in April 2025
All RSDI payments contain the 2025 COLA (Cost-of-Living Adjustment) increase, so amounts are higher than in 2024.
- The average RSDI payment will be $1,839.
- Retired beneficiaries will receive an average of $1,980.
- Survivors will receive an average of $1,547.
- Recipients of SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) will see an average of $1,580.
Who can receive the maximum benefits?
Only those retirees who claim Social Security at the age of 70 can get a maximum of $5,108.
The highest SSDI payment can be as much as $4,018, which is the same as the maximum benefit for those who applied at full retirement age.
The US government approval of payment to RSDI and SSI recipients in April 2025 is a welcome news. The payment amount will also be increased because of the COLA adjustment, and this will enable beneficiaries to cope with the inflation impacts. If you are qualified, take note of the payment date and ensure your banking details are updated and accurate.
