The Social Security Administration (SSA) has announced that RSDI (Retirement, Survivor, and Disability Insurance) payments for March 2025 will be issued on two dates – March 19 and March 26. If your birthday is on these dates, you might receive a payment this week or the following week.
But the people who have already got RSDI benefits in early March will not be covered under these two payments. On average, all these groups of beneficiaries will get an amount of approximately $1,837. But it is only an average value—it can be higher or lower. It will be based on your work record, filing age, and other considerations.
Beneficiaries getting payments on March 19
