Social Security Deposits This Month: Check Your March RSDI Payment Date Now

If you receive Retirement, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (RSDI) benefits from Social Security, you probably want to know exactly when your March 2025 payment will arrive. The good news? The schedule is set, and payments will be sent out on time.

Here’s everything you need to know, including payment dates, eligibility, and how to avoid delays.

When Will You Get Paid?

Social Security sends RSDI payments based on your birthday and when you first started receiving benefits. Here’s the schedule for March 2025:

• March 3 – If you’ve been receiving benefits since before May 1997, your payment will arrive on this date.
• March 12 – If your birthday is between the 1st and 10th of any month, expect your deposit on this date.
• March 19 – If your birthday falls between the 11th and 20th, you’ll receive your payment on this date.
• March 26 – If your birthday is between the 21st and 31st, your payment will arrive on this date.

What About SSI Payments?

If you also receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI), your March payment was actually sent early on February 28, 2025. That’s because March 1 falls on a Saturday, and Social Security always processes payments on the last business day before a weekend or holiday.

Who Qualifies for RSDI Benefits?

RSDI benefits are for three main groups:

• Retirees – If you’ve worked and paid into Social Security long enough, you can start receiving benefits as early as age 62.
• Survivors – If a spouse, parent, or another qualifying family member passed away, you may be eligible for survivor benefits.
• People with Disabilities – If you have a qualifying disability that prevents you from working, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI).

How to Avoid Payment Delays

To make sure you get your money on time, follow these simple steps:

• Set Up Direct Deposit – The fastest and safest way to receive your benefits. If you still get paper checks, consider switching to direct deposit.
• Keep Your Info Updated – If you changed banks or moved recently, update your details with Social Security to prevent delays.
• Check Your Payment Status Online – Log into your Social Security account at ssa.gov to confirm your payment details.
