When will my monthly 2025 VA disability compensation payment hit my bank account?

For all VA disability compensation benefits, payments are made on the first business day of the following month.

However, if the first day of the month falls on a weekend or holiday, VA benefits are paid on the last business day before the first.

For example, the February 2025 VA disability compensation payment will be made on Friday, January 31, 2025, which is the last business day of the month.

To make life easier for you, I’ve put together a free 2025 VA pay dates calendar.

This tool will help disabled veterans, surviving spouses, and family members stay on top of their monthly VA disability compensation schedule.

2025 VA Disability Payment Schedule Explained

For all VA disability compensation benefits, the payment for a given month is made on the first business day of the following month.

However, if the first day of the month falls on a weekend or holiday, VA benefits are paid on the last business day before the first of the month.

For example, the February 2025 VA disability compensation payment will be made on January 31, 2025, which is the last business day of the month.

To help disabled veterans, surviving spouses, and family members keep track, I’ve created a free 2025 VA pay dates calendar so you’ll always know when to expect your monthly compensation.

What are the USAA and Navy Federal Direct Deposit Dates for VA Disability?

USAA and Navy Federal Credit Union are two popular banking institutions among veterans, known for their reliable and veteran-friendly services.

  • USAA: Direct deposits from the VA typically arrive 1-3 days before the official VA payment date. This early deposit feature is a significant advantage for managing finances and ensuring timely access to funds.
  • Navy Federal Credit Union: Similar to USAA, Navy Federal also processes VA disability payments 1-3 days in advance of the official payment date. This early availability helps veterans receive their benefits promptly, often before the first of the month.
  • Example: For February 2025 VA disability compensation, the official payment date is February 3, 2025 (the first business day of February). With direct deposit through USAA or Navy Federal, funds could be available as early as January 31, depending on the bank’s processing times.
