SSDI and VA Disability Benefits are coming soon: these are the new sending dates for April Schedule

April 2025 will be a month of relief for all individuals receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or VA Disability payments.

Both classes of beneficiaries will duly receive payment from the United States government. What we need to know is which date in April will this benefit be available to us.

There are four dates on which the SSDI payment comes, while that of the VA disability benefit is sent once a month. It is important to know which category you fit into. Let us check the scheduled dates of payment in April 2025.

SSDI Payment Dates in April 2025

For information on receiving SSDI payment in April 2025, kindly refer to the official payment table released by the Social Security Administration. SSDI checks are distributed on four different dates, but each person gets paid on one only.

Are you eligible for SSDI benefits?

If your old-age retirement payment is due, you shall be credited on the same schedule since both SSDI benefits and other retirement payments are issued simultaneously.

VA Disability Benefit Payment Dates in April 2025

After SSDI payments, VA disability benefits are customarily sent on the 1st day of every month.
So, following that timetable, the VA disability payment for April 2025 will be sent on May 1, 2025.

However, for the last payment (which last saw payment on the month of March), that would have seen payment earlier on April 1, 2025. So, VA disability beneficiaries will have gotten their payment before the first week of April.

Can a change of the VA disability payment date actually happen?

• In instances when the 1st of a month falls on a weekend or holiday, payments are dispatched on the following business day.

• Two payments of the VA disability benefits will be made in May 2025, on the 1st of May and on the 30th of May, with a possibility of change in the payment processing.
