And you If you’re wondering when your Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) payment is due this month, don’t worry—we’ve broken down the dates for June 2025. If you were born after the tenth, your turn is coming up. All of the information comes directly from the Social Security Administration (SSA), so you can trust it.
The SSDI payment dates follow a monthly cycle based on birthdays. For the second half of June, there are two distinct groups. If your birthday falls between the 11th and the 20th, mark your calendar for Wednesday, June 18, 2025, when you will receive your payment.
The next group consists of people born on or after the 21st. Their assigned date is Wednesday, June 25, 2025. These two dates include all of the remaining payments for the month. If you were born before then, you received your payment on June 11, the second Wednesday of the month.
How much money comes with SSDI payments?
We quickly covered the dates, so now we can discuss the amounts. As of January 2025, the average SSDI benefit for disabled workers is around $1,537 per month. Other estimates, including COLA, place it closer to $1,580. Remember that this represents a COLA increase from $1,542 in 2024.
However, there is a maximum payment limit. The maximum monthly SSDI benefit for 2025 is $4,018. According to the SSA, this amount only applies to “workers who delay their claim until full retirement age (FRA).”
This is the highest possible figure this year, but in addition to waiting until the FRA to claim benefits, the applicant beneficiary must have earned a high income for much of their working life and paid off their work credits.
Medical conditions that qualify for SSDI
The Social Security Administration (SSA) maintains a list of approximately 240 medically determinable conditions that can qualify a person for SSDI, divided into several categories within the “Blue Book,” which is the official document used by the agency to analyze and approve (or deny) cases.
The Social Security Administration approves SSDI for people with severe disabilities who are unable to perform “substantial work activities” (SGA). The medical condition must be medically documented and anticipated to last at least 12 months or result in death. Temporary or partial conditions will not be considered. Not only is diagnosis important, but so is functional impact.
Physical illnesses (such as advanced cancer, serious heart disease, or multiple sclerosis), mental disorders (such as schizophrenia or severe bipolar disorder), and sensory deficits (total blindness or profound deafness) are all covered. As previously stated, there are over 240 qualifying conditions, so these are just a few examples.
In all cases, the severity of the condition is assessed, but combinations of limitations that preclude existing employment in the national economy are also taken into account. It is always best to go directly to the SSA website and search the “Blue Book” while preparing your SSDI application with all of the documentation that the agency officer reviewing your case will need.
