If you still haven’t received your September Social Security Disability Insurance payment yet, it could arrive this week. The final September payment is going out to those with birthdays falling between the 21st and 31st of any given month. If you’re not sure when your money is scheduled to arrive, it all comes down to when your birthday is and when you first started receiving SSDI money.
Keep reading to find out when your SSDI money could arrive. Note that the SSDI schedule is similar to Social Security payments unless you’ve been getting SSDI checks for several decades. We’ll explain below.
SSDI payment schedule if you’ve received them since 1997 or earlier
If you’ve been an SSDI recipient since May 1997 or before, your payment should arrive on the third day of every month.
There are exceptions, however. If the third day of the month falls on a weekend or holiday, you’ll get your payment on the nearest business day. For example, June 3 fell on a Saturday, so beneficiaries received their payments on Friday, June 2.
When your check arrives depends on your birth date and the year you started receiving SSDI money.
The SSDI payment schedule for everyone else depends on their birthday
Payments for those who haven’t been receiving SSDI money since 1997 or before follow the same schedule as Social Security. Here’s how it works:
- If your birthday falls between the 1st and 10th of the month, your payment will be sent out on the second Wednesday of the month.
- If your birthday falls between the 11th and 20th of the month, your payment will be sent out on the third Wednesday of the month.
- If your birthday falls between the 21st and 31st of the month, your payment will be sent out on the fourth Wednesday of the month.
