What Is RSDI and Who Qualifies?
RSDI stands for Retirement, Survivors, and Disability Insurance, a program that forms the backbone of America’s Social Security benefits. These payments come from the FICA taxes you pay throughout your working life.
Here’s a breakdown of the three RSDI benefit types:
- Retirement Benefits: For workers aged 62 and older who have paid into Social Security.
- Survivors Benefits: For widows, widowers, and children of deceased workers.
- Disability Benefits: For workers who can no longer work due to a qualifying medical condition.
These benefits are administered by the Social Security Administration (SSA), and the payment schedule depends on your birth date or eligibility group.
Example: If you are receiving RSDI and your birthday falls between the 21st and 31st of any month, your monthly Social Security benefit is typically paid on the fourth Wednesday — which, in March 2025, falls on the 27th. However, delayed processing or banking rules may result in a deposit showing up by March 30.
Will You Get a Tax Refund Tomorrow?
The IRS has been issuing 2024 tax refunds since late January. According to official IRS data, the average refund so far is around $2,150. If you filed electronically and chose direct deposit, your refund may arrive within 21 days of filing.
Here’s how to check your refund status:
- Visit the official IRS tool: Where’s My Refund?
- Enter your Social Security number or ITIN, your filing status, and the exact refund amount.
- You’ll see one of three statuses: Return Received, Refund Approved, or Refund Sent.
Pro Tip: If your return was accepted around March 8, your refund is likely to hit your account by March 30, especially if there are no math errors or verification flags.
Why Your Payment Might Be Delayed
Sometimes, things don’t go as planned. Here are the most common reasons your RSDI or refund might not arrive on time:
RSDI Delays
- Your bank account information was changed recently.
- You moved and didn’t update your SSA account.
- There’s a hold due to continuing disability review or paperwork.
Tax Refund Delays
- Manual processing triggered by errors or identity verification.
- You claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) – both of which delay refunds until mid-to-late March.
- Your refund was offset to cover federal debts (like student loans or child support).
If you suspect a delay, check your SSA or IRS account immediately.
How to Check Your RSDI Status Online
If you’re expecting an RSDI payment tomorrow, don’t leave it to chance.
Follow these steps:
- Log in to your My Social Security Account
- Click on “Benefit & Payment Details”
- You’ll see your:
- Next payment date
- Benefit amount
- Account where the money is being deposited
Tip: If you haven’t set up your account, it only takes about 10 minutes. You’ll need an email address, SSN, and access to your phone or email for 2FA (two-factor authentication).
When Will Direct Deposits Hit?
Both SSA and IRS use direct deposit as the fastest way to get your money. But banks sometimes vary on when they process deposits.
Typical Timelines:
- SSA RSDI payments: Usually arrive between midnight and 8 AM on the scheduled day.
- IRS refunds: Arrive any time after midnight, but can appear earlier if your bank processes deposits quickly.
Pro Tip: If you use prepaid cards or neobanks like Chime or Netspend, you may get your deposit 1–2 days earlier than traditional banks.
Payment Not Received? Here’s What to Do
If March 30 comes and goes, and you don’t see a payment, take the following steps:
1. Wait at least 3 business days
- SSA recommends waiting until April 2 before reporting a missing RSDI check.
- IRS refund delays should be investigated 21 days after filing.
2. Contact the right agency
- RSDI: Call SSA at 1-800-772-1213
- Tax Refund: Use the IRS Refund Tool or call 1-800-829-1954
3. Check your bank
- Make sure the account is still active and hasn’t had a deposit rejected.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. What is RSDI and how is it different from SSI?

Yes, most direct deposits are processed even on weekends. If it’s scheduled for March 30 (Saturday), some banks will release the funds earlier on Friday, March 29.
Q3. Can I call the IRS or SSA to speed up my payment?
Unfortunately, no. Neither agency can expedite your payment unless there’s an error. It’s best to wait until the expected time passes before contacting them.
Q4. What if my bank rejected the deposit?
Your payment may be returned and reissued via paper check, which could delay your money by up to 3 weeks.
Q5. What’s the average 2025 tax refund?
According to the IRS, the average refund in 2025 is $2,150, though amounts vary widely depending on your income, credits, and deductions.
