Kaffara can be paid any time but with out negligence. Kaffara of deliberately not fasting a day of month of Ramadan is feeding sixty poor believers or fasting two months. If you could not fast due to health reasons, you need to pay Fidyah not Kaffara. Fidyah is feeding one poor believer for every day.

If he masturbated but his intention was not to reach to ejaculation, and ejaculation occurred with out his control, that might be possible.

If you deliberately broke any the fast of any day of the month of Ramadan, you need to pay Kaffara beside Qaza and Istighfaar. Kaffara for every day of broken or deliberately missed fast is feeding sixty poor believers. Feeding means giving them one meal of food or at least 750 grams of wheat or rice or any food item.
If broke the fast with out knowing that it is obligatory on you to fast, then just Qaza of the fast is enough.

If you are sure that you made a Nadhr, then you must fulfill it in every possible way. If you are not sure that you made a Nadhr, then nothing is obligatory on you.
If you did a Nadhr and you deliberately did not fulfill it, there is a Kaffara on you which is: feeding ten poor believers or clothing them. If you are unable to afford that then fasting three days.
