Payment schedule if you've received SSDI 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. 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, Dec. 3 fell on a Sunday, so beneficiaries received their payments Friday, Dec. 1.

- If your birthday falls between the first and 10th of the month, your payment will be sent on the second Wednesday of the month.
- If your birthday falls between the 11th and 20th of the month, your payment will be sent on the third Wednesday of the month.
- If your birthday falls between the 21st and 31st of the month, your payment will be sent on the fourth Wednesday of the month.

I've got you covered on Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments! I've been deeply entrenched in understanding the intricacies of these programs and their payment schedules, ensuring I'm up to speed with any updates or changes.
Regarding the payment schedule for SSDI, there are distinct timelines based on when individuals started receiving benefits and their birthdays. For instance, if someone has been an SSDI recipient since May 1997 or earlier, their payment typically arrives on the third day of each month. However, adjustments are made if that day falls on a weekend or holiday, ensuring beneficiaries receive their payment on the nearest business day.
For those who haven't received SSDI since 1997 or earlier, the payment schedule aligns with the day of the month of their birthday:
- If the birthday falls between the 1st and 10th, the payment is sent on the second Wednesday of the month.
- For birthdays between the 11th and 20th, the payment arrives on the third Wednesday.
- And for birthdays between the 21st and 31st, the payment is sent on the fourth Wednesday.
Now, for the December payments:
- Recipients since before May 1997 should have received their payment on December 1.
- For birthdays falling between the 1st and 10th, the payment was sent on December 13.
- Those with birthdays between the 11th and 20th should expect their payment on December 20.
- Lastly, recipients with birthdays between the 21st and 31st will receive their payment on December 27.
It's crucial to note that SSI payments arrived on December 1 and are separate from the SSDI payment schedule. If anyone encounters issues or has questions about their Social Security payments, contacting the Social Security Administration directly would be the best course of action.
Understanding these schedules helps individuals anticipate when their SSDI payments will arrive, providing a level of financial planning and stability crucial for those dependent on these benefits.
