August is here, and with it comes a new round of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Social Security (SSA) payments. Whether you’re planning bills, groceries, or just a little summer treat, knowing your payment date is key. So let’s break down everything you need to know about the August 2025 payment calendar.
SSA
The Social Security Administration (SSA) manages benefits for over 68 million people across the U.S. It supports retirees and individuals who can no longer work due to disability. If you receive SSDI, you likely paid into the system through years of work. Now, SSA is returning the favor.
This month’s payments are already on the way. Here’s when you can expect your deposit.
Dates
SSDI payments are divided into three groups, based on your birth date. This system keeps things organized and consistent from month to month.
Here’s the full August SSDI payment schedule:
| Birthday Range | Payment Date |
|---|---|
| Born 1st–10th | Wednesday, Aug 14 |
| Born 11th–20th | Wednesday, Aug 21 |
| Born 21st–31st | Wednesday, Aug 28 |
If your birthday falls within one of those ranges, that’s your payday. The earlier your birthday, the earlier in the month you’ll receive your SSDI deposit.
Early
There’s an important exception.
If you began receiving SSDI benefits before May 1997, or if you also get SSI (Supplemental Security Income), your payment always arrives on a fixed date — no matter when your birthday is.
That date for August is:
Friday, August 2
This group always receives payment at the start of each month.
Missing
What if your money doesn’t show up?
The SSA recommends waiting three business days after your scheduled date. If your deposit is still missing after that, here’s what to do:
- Visit your local SSA office: They can check for errors or delays tied to your account.
- Log into your SSA account: Use the SSA.gov portal to view payment updates.
- Keep your info current: Payment delays often happen due to outdated banking details, phone numbers, or addresses.
So if you’ve moved, changed banks, or switched your phone number, make sure to update your information as soon as possible to avoid delays.
Summary
Let’s recap the SSDI payment dates for August 2025:
| Group | Payment Date |
|---|---|
| SSDI before May 1997 / also SSI | Friday, Aug 2 |
| Born between 1st and 10th | Wednesday, Aug 14 |
| Born between 11th and 20th | Wednesday, Aug 21 |
| Born between 21st and 31st | Wednesday, Aug 28 |
Keep those dates in mind when organizing your budget or planning your month. Your check is on the way, and if anything seems off, don’t hesitate to reach out to SSA.
Here’s to a stress-free August — and a smooth payment experience!
