Veterans receiving monthly VA disability payments can expect their May 2025 benefits to arrive on Friday, May 30.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) typically issues payments on the first business day of the month following the benefit month. When that day falls on a weekend or holiday, payments are made on the last business day of the previous month.
Since June 1, 2025, falls on a Sunday, May benefits will be paid on May 30.
