Retirement, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (RSDI) payments, managed by the Social Security Administration (SSA), are designed to provide financial support to qualifying individuals.
These payments are available for retirees, survivors, and those receiving disability benefits. However, there are specific criteria for eligibility, and the amount of each payment can vary.
What Are RSDI Payments?
RSDI payments are distributed to individuals who qualify under specific categories:
- Retirement benefits are paid to those who have worked and contributed to Social Security during their careers.
- Disability Insurance (SSDI) payments are available to individuals who have become disabled after paying Social Security taxes.
- Survivor benefits are provided to family members, like spouses, after the death of a worker who was enrolled in Social Security.
The amount you receive depends on your work history and the type of benefits you’re eligible for. For instance, retirement and SSDI benefits are based on your payroll contributions, while survivor benefits are determined by the deceased worker’s record.
RSDI Payments Schedule: July 2025
The SSA will be making RSDI payments again this week, with payments scheduled for July 9, which marks the second Wednesday of the month. If you’re eligible, the payment will be deposited directly into your account.
However, it’s essential to note that these payments are subject to strict eligibility requirements. If you do not meet the conditions, you could lose your payments. For example, SSDI benefits are only available if you have a qualifying disability. If your health improves and you no longer meet the criteria, your payments may stop.
Who Qualifies for RSDI Payments on July 9?
To be eligible for the July 9 RSDI payment, you must meet the following requirements:
- Not be receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
- Not have received RSDI benefits before May 1997.
- Your birthday must fall between the 1st and 10th of the month.
These rules apply specifically to the first set of RSDI payments for the month. If you don’t qualify for the July 9 payment, don’t worry. There are two more payment dates for July 2025.
RSDI Payments on July 16 and July 23
If you’re not receiving the RSDI payment on July 9, the next opportunities are on July 16 and July 23:
- July 16: For individuals born between the 11th and 20th of the month.
- July 23: For individuals born between the 21st and 31st of the month.
However, to be eligible for these payments, you must have started collecting RSDI benefits after April 30, 1997 and not be on SSI.
How Much Will You Receive?
The amount of RSDI payments varies based on the type of benefits you receive:
- Retirees: $2,002 on average.
- SSDI recipients: $1,581 on average.
- Survivors: $1,566 on average.
The average payment across all categories is $1,857, though individual amounts can differ.
RSDI payments offer critical financial support to those who qualify for retirement, disability, or survivor benefits. While there are specific eligibility criteria, including the date of birth and work history, qualifying individuals will receive their payments on designated dates in July. Ensure that you meet all requirements to continue receiving your benefits.
