Payment Schedule Overview

According to Cnet, SSDI payments are typically issued based on two factors: the date you began receiving benefits and your birth date. Here’s a breakdown of how these factors determine your payment schedule for August.

For Recipients Before May 1997

If you began receiving SSDI benefits before May 1997, your payments are usually deposited on the third day of each month. However, if this date falls on a weekend or holiday, the payment might be adjusted. For instance, if the third day of the month is a weekend, you might receive your payment earlier. In March, recipients received their payment on the first day of the month due to the weekend overlap.

For Recipients After May 1997

For those who started receiving SSDI after May 1997, payment dates are determined by your birth date. Payments are made on the second, third, and fourth Wednesdays of the month, depending on your birth date:

• Birth Dates Between the 1st and 10th: Payments are made on the 2nd Wednesday of the month.
• Birth Dates Between the 11th and 20th: Payments are made on the 3rd Wednesday of the month.
• Birth Dates Between the 21st and 31st: Payments are made on the 4th Wednesday of the month.
