Who Will Receive the January 3rd Disability Payment?

To qualify for the January 3rd payment, beneficiaries must be part of retiree group 1, which includes those who began receiving benefits before May 1997. This group is eligible to receive the maximum disability payment of $4,018, although not all beneficiaries will receive this amount.

Payment Schedule and Direct Deposit

The SSA has a specific payment schedule for different groups of retirees. Group 1 retirees receive their payments on the 3rd of each month, or the preceding working day if the 3rd falls on a holiday. Beneficiaries can ensure they receive their payment on the same day it is sent by opting for Direct Deposit.

Changes in Payment Amounts

The maximum disability payment for 2025 has been adjusted to $4,018, reflecting the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA). This increase means that beneficiaries will see a slight rise in their January payment compared to December 2024.

Can the Payment Date Be Changed?

The payment date is determined by the year of retirement and the beneficiary’s birth date. Therefore, it is not possible to change the payment date. However, beneficiaries can receive their payment on the same day it is sent by using Direct Deposit.
