If you get Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), you probably depend on this money every month to pay for food, rent, medicines, and more. That’s why it’s important to know exactly when your SSDI payment will arrive in July 2025. This article explains the payment schedule in a simple way and helps you understand when you can expect your deposit.
What Is SSDI?

SSDI stands for Social Security Disability Insurance. It is money the U.S. government gives to people who have worked in the past but can’t work now because of a serious illness or disability. You can apply for SSDI if you’ve worked and paid Social Security taxes for some years and are now unable to work due to a disability.
When Will SSDI Payments Be Sent in July 2025?
The Social Security Administration (SSA) sends out SSDI payments based on your birth date. Here’s how the payment dates are decided:
SSDI July 2025 Payment Schedule
- If your birthday is on the 1st–10th of the month:
Payment Date: Wednesday, July 9, 2025 - If your birthday is on the 11th–20th of the month:
Payment Date: Wednesday, July 16, 2025 - If your birthday is on the 21st–31st of the month:
Payment Date: Wednesday, July 23, 2025
These payments usually show up in your bank account or Direct Express debit card on the same day. But if there’s a holiday or a weekend, your money might come a bit earlier.
What If You Also Get SSI?

Some people get both SSDI and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). If you get SSI too, your SSDI payment is made on the 3rd of the month — so for July 2025, it will be paid on Thursday, July 3, 2025.
