Understanding RSDI Payments

RSDI (Retirement, Survivors, and Disability Insurance) is a key component of the Social Security program that provides monthly benefits to eligible individuals and their families. Here’s a breakdown:

• Retirement Benefits: Paid to individuals who have worked and paid Social Security taxes for at least 10 years (40 credits).
• Survivors Benefits: Paid to spouses, children, and dependent family members of deceased workers.
• Disability Benefits: Paid to individuals unable to work due to qualifying disabilities.

Each year, the SSA adjusts these benefits based on inflation and other economic factors. For 2025, the 3.2% COLA increase means beneficiaries will receive a higher payment than in 2024. This adjustment ensures that Social Security benefits keep pace with rising costs in housing, healthcare, and daily living expenses.

   • Click on “Benefits & Payments.”
   • View your updated benefit amount, including the COLA increase.
2. Check Your Bank Statement
   • If you receive direct deposit, your payment should reflect on your statement by the scheduled date.

Understanding the 3.2% COLA Increase

The Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) ensures that Social Security payments keep up with inflation. For 2025, a 3.2% increase means:

• The average retired worker will see a monthly payment increase from $1,848 to $1,907.
• The maximum disability benefit will rise from $3,627 to $3,743.
• The average survivor benefit will increase from $1,450 to $1,496.

These increases help beneficiaries cover rising costs in healthcare, food, and essential living expenses.

Direct Deposit vs. Paper Checks

Most beneficiaries receive their payments via direct deposit, which ensures:

• Faster, safer payments.
• No risk of lost or stolen checks.
• Instant access to funds on payment day.

If you still receive a paper check, it may take 5-7 business days to arrive. Consider switching to direct deposit through Go Direct to avoid delays and security risks.
