In order to get their monthly payment in the United States, RSDI beneficiaries who are not eligible for the May 2 Social Security installments must wait a few days or weeks.
You must have been receiving benefits after April 30, 1997, in order to be eligible for any of the future benefits. Furthermore, you are not eligible to receive Supplemental Security Income.
You will be one step closer to knowing when the Social Security Administration will pay your RSDI benefits in May if you fulfil these two requirements.
For instance, you may be eligible for a monthly payment on the second, third, or fourth Wednesday in May if you were born on a particular day. Therefore, May 14, 21, and 28 will be the dates of the major paydays.
Schedule for RSDI payments after May 2
According to confirmation from the Social Security Administration, you will get your RSDI payment on the 14th if your birthday is on the 1st. Similarly, everyone born on May 1st to May 10th will get paid on May 14th.
RSDI benefits will be disbursed on May 21 following May 14. Retirees, survivors, and Disability Insurance beneficiaries born between the 11th and the 20th will continue to receive monthly benefits from the Agency one week later.
Finally, individuals born between May 21 and May 31 will be eligible for the May 28 RSDI direct deposit. For monthly benefits after May 2, your birthdate must coincide with the guidelines established by the Social Security Administration.
| Payment Date | Eligible Birthdays |
| May 14 | Birthdays from 1st to 10th |
| May 21 | Birthdays from 11th to 20th |
| May 31, 2025 | Birthdays from 21st to 31st |
The amounts of RSDI payments
Due to a variety of reasons, the Social Security payout levels for each group of recipients vary. On May 14, 21, or 28, for instance, a retiree may get up to $5,108.
When compared to the greatest amount a retiree can receive if filing at age 70, SSDI payouts differ significantly because they are limited to $4,018, the maximum amount available. Your payment may be reduced or increased based on your filing age.
The maximum amount that a 62-year-old can get is $2,831. This is significantly less because retirees who are 62 years of age or older often receive a 30% decrease.
