KHN – In February, the US government and the Social Security Administration will make additional payments to disability beneficiaries who have already received benefits. However, not all retirees will indeed be able to pick up their checks on the same day.
Some retirees may receive their benefits before Valentine’s Day, while others will have to wait a little longer for their monthly payments. In any case, receiving a Social Security check every month, whether for disability or not, means knowing when we will receive the payment ahead of time.
The Social Security Disability checks contain a total of four payment days. The group of retirees to whom each recipient belongs affects whether we receive the payout sooner or later. Unless we have Direct Deposit enabled, these payments often arrive a few days after they are sent.
New Social Security Disability Payments
The upcoming Social Security Disability payments will arrive on February 12th. On this day, Americans who have an accepted benefit will be able to receive the check without difficulty. However, not all categories of pensioners are paid on this day.
To get the cash on February 12th, we will have to:
- Have applied for Social Security benefits after May 1997.
- Be born between the first and tenth of any month.
Only by completing both requirements will you be eligible for this Disability check payment, therefore make sure you are a member of that group to receive the benefit on that day. Without Direct Deposit, the funds will take a few days to appear in the bank account, however with this approach, we will be able to access them on the same day they are transferred.

What is the Maximum Payment for Disability in 2025?
Disability payments can reach $4,018 in 2025, although not all recipients are eligible for this benefit. Because each beneficiary receives a separate check, the amount we can receive varies slightly over time.
In the case when the check is not for disability but for retirement due to age, the figure can exceed $5,180 each month. This means we can have a considerably larger monthly check, albeit it is difficult to reach the maximum amount.
The days for sending benefits are the same across all types of retirement. As a result, a beneficiary receiving a group 2 disability benefit will be able to collect their check on the same day as a group 2 age retirement beneficiary.
