Which Day Is My Social Security Payment Due This Month?
We help you to know if you should receive a check this week, and how its payment date is stipulated.
- April 17: Social Security payments for people whose birthdays fall between the 11th and 20th of a given month.
- April 24: Social Security payments for people whose birthdays fall between the 21st and the 31st of a given month.
- For those who are SSI beneficiaries, payments usually arrive on the first of each month, with some exceptions.
If you have been a Social Security beneficiary since before May 1997, or you receive both SSI and Social Security, your payment schedule is different. You don’t get your payments on a Wednesday. Instead, you’ll get your Social Security payment on the third day of every month and your SSI payment on the first day of every month.
These mentioned dates may vary, if the first or third day of the month falls on a weekend or holiday. For example, the third day of March fell on a Sunday, therefore, social security beneficiaries received their payment for the month of March two days in advance, on the first day of March.
