What are SSDI and VA benefits?

SSI (Social Security Disability Insurance) – This is a federal program that provides income to people who cannot work due to a serious illness or accident. To be eligible for this scheme, a person must already contribute to Social Security.

VA Benefits (Veterans Affairs Payments) – These are given to soldiers who were injured or suffered from any disease during duty. Their amount depends on the disability rating of the veteran.

Where did the $3,000 rumor come from?

This discussion went viral in early 2025 when some websites and social media accounts claimed that a one-time payment of $3,000 would be given in April. However, no government website like ssa.gov or va.gov has confirmed this.

SSDI payment dates (based on date of birth):
