The benefit paid on February 12, 2025, will be the last for many US people with an acceptable SSDI check. At the very least, it will be the last for a long time, as they will be unable to get an SSI payment on March 1st due to a calendar anomaly.
The advantage of all of this is that payment days can be predicted ahead of time, ensuring that the economy remains steady. Furthermore, receiving a monthly SSDI payment guarantees that we have a consistent income to cover our usual expenses.
Of course, if we are not among the second set of retirees, we will not be able to receive the check on February 12th, but it is not all terrible news. We should also keep in mind that we may have already received the February check, as this payment next Wednesday is the second one that the Administration sends to SSDI beneficiaries this month.
Requirements for the February 12th SSDI payment
There are two primary prerequisites for receiving paid on February 12th. And we can’t find the sort of benefit among those requirements, thus it makes no difference if our payment comes from SSDI, retirement due to age, or another type of monthly check.
What matters is that your Social Security payments have been recognized since after May 1997, and you have a birthdate between the first and tenth of any month. Both prerequisites will allow us to get the payment on February 12th; however, if Direct Deposit is not accepted, we will be unable to receive another benefit check in February.
When does the March SSI arrive?
An error in the March calendar means that the Social Security Administration will not send the SSI payment this month. The primary reason is that March 1st, when this benefit should be sent, is a weekend. When this occurs, the Administration sends the check on the preceding business day.
As a result, on February 28th, we will only be able to get an additional check if we have had the SSI accepted in advance. Because SSI is compatible with SSDI, we can receive both benefits each month without issue. What is definite is that each of these payments has a different value, thus SSI can go as high as $967 and SSDI can reach $4,018 in 2025.
