The Social Security Administration (SSA) is disbursing RSDI payments—Retirement, Survivors, and Disability Insurance—throughout July 2025, providing essential financial support to millions of eligible Americans.
The average payment across all RSDI categories is $1,857, though amounts may vary by benefit type and individual record.
If you’re an approved RSDI beneficiary, it’s crucial to understand the eligibility requirements, payment structure, and scheduled deposit dates.
This guide provides the latest updates and full details to ensure you’re prepared to receive your benefit on time.
What Is RSDI?
RSDI stands for Retirement, Survivors, and Disability Insurance, a benefit program administered by the Social Security Administration. These monthly payments are funded through payroll taxes and are designed to provide income security to:
- Retired workers who paid into Social Security
- People with disabilities through SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance)
- Survivors and dependents of deceased workers
You must have either worked and contributed through payroll taxes or be a qualifying spouse, child, or survivor to receive RSDI benefits.
Who Is Eligible for July RSDI Payments?
To receive RSDI benefits in July 2025, you must meet specific criteria based on your benefit category and payment schedule.
| Eligibility Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Not receiving SSI (Supplemental Security Income) | RSDI and SSI have separate paydays and requirements |
| Birthdate range 1st–10th | Eligible for July 9 payment if RSDI started after May 1997 |
| Birthdate range 11th–20th | Eligible for July 16 payment if RSDI started after May 1997 |
| Birthdate range 21st–31st | Eligible for July 23 payment if RSDI started after May 1997 |
| Received RSDI before May 1997 | Payment issued on July 3 regardless of birthdate |
You must also remain eligible—for example, SSDI recipients must still meet the medical requirements for disability. Any health improvement could affect your status and lead to benefit termination.
