Timing is everything, and the arrival time of your monthly payment from Social Security can be key to keeping your financial house in order.
As you budget to pay your bills and save for future needs, keep in mind that your monthly retirement or disability benefit will be paid at the same time each month. To see your next payment date, create or log on to your my Social Security online account and go to the “Benefits & Payments” section.
In general, here’s how we assign payment dates:
- If you were born on the 1st through the 10th of the month, you’ll be paid on the second Wednesday of the month;
- If you were born on the 11th through the 20th of the month, you’ll be paid on the third Wednesday of the month; and
- If you were born after the 20th of the month, you’ll be paid on the fourth Wednesday of the month.
There are exceptions. For example, children and spouses who receive benefits based on someone else’s work record will be paid on the same day as the primary beneficiary.
For others, we may issue your payments on the 3rd of each month. Among other reasons, we do this if:
- You filed for benefits before May 1, 1997;
- You also receive a Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment;
- Your Medicare premiums are paid for by the state where you live; or
- You live in a foreign country.
Individuals who receive SSI payments due to disability, age, or blindness receive those payments on the 1st of each month.
If your payment date falls on a federal holiday or weekend, you can expect to receive that month’s payment on the weekday immediately prior.
You can see a current schedule for Social Security and SSI benefit payments in an easy-to-read calendar.

Is the payment 1 month in the arrears? In other words, if I was born on the 24th of a month, I would expect to receive my payment for May on the 4th Wednesday of June, right?
Will my social security benefit will be change from the 2wednesday to the 3 of each month
Can you change to a payment date that helps match monthly bills due?
Hi, Barry. No, you cannot change it. It is based on the birthday of the person on whose record you receive benefits. For more information, please visit our Frequently Asked Questions. Thanks!
Rent is due on the 1St of month not the 3rd , 4th Wednesday. i am late every month.
That is my issue also. I cannot afford to pay a month in advance, so mortgage is always late. Bank wont change their past due date either.
Peace and Safety!
I have a question please ok!! My question to you is I am a widow! What is different is I’ve been drawing dissabilty since 2008 I am 56 years old ok in August 6, 2017 my husband died he was already drawing his dissabilty and had been for several years when he died they took all of his check except for 240.00 monthly he was drawing close to 1,400 monthly when he died ok so I draw 1,089.00 a month from my record and I also get 240.00 or 245.00 a month from him so with the 2 checks 1 off my record and 1 off of his I draw close to 1,300.00 a month what I’m saying is we were both drawing our dissabilty before he died is this correct? I’m not sure on this and I would like to know please! I’m thinking that I would be able to draw more since I was already drawing my dissabilty before he died or will I draw this for so long and then when I get 60 or so will it change then and I I would draw more?? I would appreciate any input you could give me because I can’t get a straight answer from the social security office I would really appreciate any input you have please!

Are you a member of the US Government Social Security Administration or a private company? Why would you ask about the timing of my SS payments each month and then proceed to ask personal info to set up my Social Security Account with you?
SSA, you say I will receive my SS at the same time each month, whether most of my expenses HAVE TO BE PAID around the 1st of the month – but I receive it on the 3rd Wednesday, which varies from the 15th through 21st. Since the first is when all but three of my expenses are due, I end up with NSFs of $35 on each one which has cost me almost a third of my SS in some months. Have tried to change to a various date, but only my landlord will wait without charge to me. But I don’t qualify for a change to the 1st of the month. When I first retired, it was on the first. Then SSA went to Congress stating they wanted to change the date as we have now because people was getting beaten so thugs could get their checks. Then two years later, we had to have direct deposits – but they kept the same payment day – 2nd, 3rd, or 4th Wednesday of the month. Of course, then we got Obama and we didn’t get a increase in COLA for 10 years. The 1 “increase” we got (0.38%) actually cost me $2/month. The increase the first year of Trump of 2.0% was set by Obama and resulted in all of that increase went to pay Medicare. It is time that we get an increase that we would have received if the government had paid interest instead of stealing it. We would be getting at least double to triple what we get down.
I have been getting calls from “Social Security” and if I do not dial a phone number, they are going to put me in jail.

If disability payments are coming on the 3rd, will payments continue to come on the 3rd when disability shifts into retirement, even if retirement would otherwise come later in the month? If not, how is the transition made?
Hi. Thanks for your question. When you reach full retirement age, we will automatically convert your disability benefits to retirement benefits, but the amount remains the same as well as the payment date. Also, starting the month you reach retirement age, you will get benefits with no limit on your earnings. We hope this helps.
If my husband passes, what amount of his SS would I get?
Hi, Penelope. Good question! The amount of your widow or widower benefit is based on several factors, including: the earnings of the person who died, when the deceased worker started receiving their benefits, your age at the time of your spouse’s death, and the amount of your own retirement benefit. We compare your own benefit with your potential survivor benefit. If your survivor benefit would be higher than your own current retirement benefit at the time of your spouse’s passing, you would be eligible for survivor benefits. For more information, visit here. Thanks!

My check comes on the first; my husband and sons both come on the 2nd Wednesdays. I tell my creditors that they must allow us to pay our bills on the 20th of the month because of the way Social Security pays us. Most of our creditors have no idea that there is a specific pattern for payment.
I receive my check on the second Wednesday of every month. However, on one side of the situation I have asked for a earlier time and the other side aking payments to be changed until the ck is received!
SS is top, easy to access and giving all info needed.
The link to the Social Security payments calendar only shows the dates for last year (2018). I did not see anything for the current year.

can i change my pay date to the 1st. of the month ?
Hi, George. No, you cannot change it. It is based on the birthday of the person on whose record you receive benefits. For more information, visit our Frequently Asked Questions. Thanks!
Thumbs down on the payment schedule!👎 why not pay on the date of birth. Always the same day, easier to make payments. Too much flexing between, wait a week or more longer until SS payment arrives. When I was paid once a week I paid every Friday, every two weeks I was paid on Friday, and when I got paid once a month it was on the first of the month. Make it so that we get our checks/deposits on the date of birth day.
I’ve been made aware, thanks
i am allways thankfull for your service never better
I was under the impression.. After you turn 70 you didn’t have to pay taxes on your social security. Is this true?

The way the SSA benefits are paid is atrocious. It should be a set date, not 2nd, 3rd Wednesday business. Sometimes it’s five weeks or longer between checks instead of four weeks. I should not have a monthly bill that has to be paid twice from the same check simply because of the way the SSA check is distributed. I am in better living conditions than a lot of recipients (no medical bills or prescription meds to buy). I still struggle unnecessarily because of the distribution dates. This needs to be changed and SSA recipients are not the ones who need to do the changing. It’s the distribution dates that need to change! You should get the check on the same date every month. This is just another way for the government to rip SSA recipients off. Instead of getting money every four weeks. From July to August 2019, it is five weeks between checks simply because of the way the dates fall. This happens several times in a year! Change it!
My husband supposed to get his first retirement payment on June 12,2019 because he was born April 5th, but when I check it on the 13th, it wasn’t there yet, we have minor kids who needs financial for their school, we live here in the Philippines, when we called ssa Manila, they said it will come early in June so we are kinda waiting so that we can use the money for school needs, thanks! I hope u can help!!

Your Medicare premiums are paid for by the state where you live.
What states pay Medicare premiums? I want to move there before I file for SSI!
Hi, Eileen. You may be eligible to receive assistance from the state where you live. Medicare enrollees who have limited income and resources may get help paying for their premiums and out-of-pocket medical expenses through the Medicare Savings Programs (MSP). Please call the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services at 1-800-633-4227 for more information. You can also visit here. We hope this information is helpful.
First, my SS does not arrive on the same DATE every month but whatever the date of the 3rd Wednesday is. This causes me to have from 1 to 3 NSFs every month. When I started drawing SS at 65, I received it on the 1st of the month. Then SSA went to Congress and got them to vary the payment to our current system because to many seniors were getting hit over their heads. Then about two years later, we were required to get direct deposit (which I already had), which eliminated altogether the robbery problem. Now, although I have changed my due date, they want a date certain, i.e., a certain date every month. My NSFs cost me $35 to $105 per month, but you don’t care because I have tried to change it to a date certain for several occasions. But I still lose up to 10% of my check every month.
wow… thats indeed something worth bookmarking, these dates are super important… Thanks for sharing.. 🙂

How about the repeal of the WEP. I am only receiving 1/3 of my EARNED benefit but if I get a job the Feds will withhold 100% of the premium from my check. I I believe the WEP is illegal because it is a breach of contract can I sue the SSA OR file a federal lawsuit for my full earned benefit ?
Why does it take so long( 4 mos . ) To receive an answer on my disability application. I hope to hear something soon. We are behind on all our bills.

Am happy today that he helped me and i can proudly say that my wife is now with me again and she is now in love with me like never before.

I applied for SS on 5/3/19, status is still pending and level is Initial. I have not been contacted by anyone so wondering how much longer do i have to wait to make sure it’s approved. i am supposed to receive my first check in September.
I live in Spain, need to switch the Bank account to receive my Direct Deposit, How can I do it?
Francisco, thank you for your question. Please contact your local Federal Benefits Unit. You can find their contact information here. We hope this helps.
Thanks for the explanation, however, I don’t think it’s fair to have to wait five weeks between SS checks. I don’t get much and struggling quite a bit by the end of the fourth week. 😒
If my SS check is paid on on the 4th wednesday of the month does that represent payment for the month of August?
My son is under a doctor’s care and has been for the past 18 years. He did not receive his check this month or it was lost or stolen. How can he request a replacement check?
I am supposed to receive my check on the first Wed. of the month according to you. I never know when it is going to come in. It shoes up sometimes on the 8th and sometimes on the 12th. This is very frustrating. Hard to budget.
I get my SSD money on the 4th wednesday on every month sometimes on the third Wednesday, If i know i am getting the money the last Wednesday of the month can i ask to get it on the week before just for this one time if i have an emergency and need the money 7 days before ?
i have not received my benefits for the month of august
My wife and I get our benefits deposit at the same date.
Her birth day is June 16th and my is 26 Jul. Up until recently the benefits were deposited on the 4th week of the month. The last three months, the deposit was on the 3th week?. Am reworking my budget. when should we expect our deposit for this time on… thank you
Hi Frank. We are sorry for the confusion. To see your next payment date, create or log on to your personal my Social Security account and go to the “Benefits & Payments” section. We hope this helps.
My benefit payment date changes from last Wednesday of the month Tito the 3rd of the month without notice
Hi William. Thanks for your question. In May 1997, SSA started delivering Social Security on the 3rd of the month and on the second, third and fourth Wednesdays of the month. The three new payment dates are assigned based on the beneficiary’s day of birth. Beneficiaries entitled to Social Security benefits prior to May 1997 continue to receive their benefits on the 3rd of each month. You may find it useful to see the scheduled days of payments here. We hope this helps.
I have not go my check yet should get it patricia lamar thank you
What day will my 09/03/2019 social security direct deposit be made? Does the Labor Day Holiday effect my normal 3rd of month deposit of social security benefits?
I was wondering the same exact thing. Does anyone else know?
Hi, rents are due for a lot of us on the 1st of the month as are other bills. I’ve never known SS to give checks on holidays. I think all benefits should be paid on the first regardless of birthdays. This is our money not the governments. IF that republican party takes OUR money we wil be lost. You have to fight for us. Out AGs are setting it in motionn but your agency has to help too.
My payment usually falls on 3rd of each month. Will I get paid earlier for the 9/3/19 payment since on weekend and holiday?
Calendar
I’m a little disappointed that social security did not pay us today August 30th, 2019. The first falls on a Sunday and the second is a holiday. I normally get paid on the 3rd but I also have another big problem, I live in Florida which is in the path of hurricane Dorrian and need my check to prepare for the storm. Supplies are getting low in the stores as many are out of water and as I live check to check I have no extra money to buy even a loaf of bread. I pray we will be fine.
My birthday is on the 31 of the month. As such, I have to wait almost two months before receiving money due to me. It’s all done electronically now, checks are no longer printed and mailed. I’m not sure I understand why everyone can’t receive their money at the same time.
Due to financial budgeting please change my automatic
Social Security Benefit deposit to an earlier date.
Thank you
Emily Kaye

A: As explained above, The Social Security Administration cannot perform a medical “Continuing Disability Review” to determine whether you continue to have a disability while you are participating in the Ticket Program and progressing towards your employment goal. Every 12 months after you assign your Ticket to Work to an EN, we must decide if you are making the expected progress toward your vocational goal. We look at progress such as completing certain education or getting and keeping a job. We refer to this as a “Timely Progress Review”.

Hi Michelle. If your regularly scheduled payment date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or a federal holiday, we pay benefits the business day before the due date. For future pay dates, you may find our Schedule of Social Security Payments useful. We hope this information helps.

Hi Vickie. The exact payment date is determined by your date of birth. Or, if you are receiving benefits under someone else’s earnings record, the payment date is determined by that person’s date of birth. The payments are schedule for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Wednesday of every month, even if the month has five (5) Wednesdays. For future pay dates, you may find the schedule of Social Security benefit payment calendar useful. We hope this information helps.
My husband normally receives his retirement SSI direct deposit on ghe 4th Monday, which did happen in October. Today, Nov 1st, I received a deposit. It appears to be 4 weeks early. I’m wondering if there’s been a change or if this is a one time occurrence. Thank you.

Does ssi payment date change when one goes back to work?
Hi Elsie. You can find information and examples about how work affects your Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits at our Supplemental Security Income website. We hope this helps.
Is there any way my payment date can be changed to the 3rd of the month. It would certainly help us financially. If I need to talk to a representative, please call me.
Hi Mary. Please note that claims filed on or after May 1, 1997, benefit payments are based on the date of birth. If your date of birth is between the 1st and the 10th of the month, then your benefit payment date is the second Wednesday of the month; if your date of birth is between the 11th and the 20th of the month, then your benefit payment date is the third Wednesday of the month; if your date of birth is between the 21st and the 31st of the month, then your benefit payment date is the fourth Wednesday of the month. You may find the schedule of Social Security benefit payment calendar useful.

I never knew that social security payment varies depending on the month you were born; for example, if you were born on the 20th of the month, you’ll be paid on the Wednesday fourth of the month. I’ve been wanting to get an SSS for my mother just in case she’ll retire from her job. Thank you for this; I guess it’s also smart if I’ll hire an SSS attorney, so we’ll have legal advice by the time that we decide to claim the money.https://www.sartainlaw.com/social-security

My sister dead on the 25th of the month. Her birthday was on the 18th of the month. Why was her last deposit taken back and yet some people get paid that should not get benefits?
Hi. We are sorry for your loss. Please note that Social Security benefits are paid the month after they are due. For your sister to have been entitled to the benefits, she had to have lived the whole (complete) month. According to what you are telling us, unfortunately, she did not live until the first day of the following month, therefore, the payment for the month in which she died had to be returned. In some instances, the financial institution will automatically return payments upon notification of the beneficiary’s death. Typically, the funeral director notifies us of an individual’s passing by sending the deceased person’s death certificate to the local Social Security office. We hope this helps.
I get my benefits on the first of the month but the first of December lands on a Sunday. And also thanksgiving day is coming up. So when will I get my benefits?

Hi Cindy. Thanks for your question. You can file for your Social Security retirement benefits as early as four (4) months before the month of your birthday. You can do so by applying online. If you are applying for benefits online, you may not need a birth certificate. If you do not want to apply online, you may call our toll-free number at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778), Monday through Friday, between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. to schedule an appointment and ask any further questions you may have. We hope this helps.

Just want to know how is not possible to open a social security Account if you’re living out of the United States. “It says you must have a US address”
Hi Mohamed. At this time, you must have a U.S. mailing address to create or access your online account. People with APO/FPO/DPO addresses can create an account overseas, but our system does not support registration and account creation for users with a foreign address yet. If you are living outside the United States, you can contact your nearest Federal Benefits Unit (FBU) for assistance with Social Security questions. For information on Social Security benefit payments outside of the U.S., please see our publication titled “Your Payment While You Are Outside the United States.” We hope this information helps.
This blog answered my question
I am still confused and anxious about bills; will I receive my retirement benefit for December in December? Thank you
For the month of December, and my birth date is 30th, when can I expect my check?

My ss check is to be deposited in my acct on wed Dec 25. Will it come early?
Hello my name is Carol Rowley and I would like to know if I’ll get my money today since the office will be close on Christmas?
When will I receive my social security in my account I usually get paid on the fourth wed of the month but this year Christmas falls on the fourth wed when will I receive my ss since the social security is closed the 24 and 25 ?
What time of day are the payments
I think it is terrible when an individual becomes disabled at a time before retirement age, and receives a small monthly income barely able to survive, and are charged to remove money from atm machines and then purchase money orders as one has no longer a bank account! These charges add up quickly! Often there are expenses due at the first of the month as well but many of us must wait until the 3’rd for our benefits! No individual chooses to be placed in a situation of chronic disability and especially before retirement. Just my own personal views.

No individual chooses to be placed in a situation of chronic disability and especially before retirement. Just my own personal views. Also my deceased spouse was born on June 1, 1953. Yet I still receive benefits in the third. To make matters worse the benefits are placed seperate on two separate cards. I also do not believe Social Security has each of his prior places of employment based on the small amount I receive. Being ill and disabled I do not have the means to research these concerns however. Thank you for your time.
How long after does it take to receive my third back payment when it’s already being processed how many days after that

What is my January payment of my SSN on the day 13 ? *** – ** – ***
I just wanted the new payment calendar for 2020. This was hard to find any calendar. Thank you for asking .

If my full retirement age of 66 years old is on 23 November in 2020 and I file my application online or at the social security office 3 months prior for my benefits to become effective after reaching my full retirement age, what date will I receive my first direct deposit payment into my bank account?
Will it be on the 4th Wednesday of December 2020 or the 4th Wednesday of January 2021?
If I was born on 21 November 1954, I will reach my full social security age of 66 on 21 November 2020. If I want my benefits start at my full social security age, what date will I receive my first payment. From your previous pasted and quoted response to others: HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOUR BENEFITS ARE DUE?
“Benefits are paid the month after they are due. Let us explain. If you are eligible to receive your benefits beginning in the month of November, you will receive your first benefit payment in December. The exact payment date is determined by your date of birth.”
It is either the 4th Wednesday of December 2020 or the 4th Wednesday of January 2021. The 4th Wednesday of December 2020 would be a few days over one month past my 66th BD and the 4th Wednesday of January 2021 would be a little over 2 months past my 66th BD. I have received those two different dates from a social security office agent. I am obviously planning ahead by asking this question often especially after getting two different responses from social security. The average American Senior citizen is not stupid, just tired of not receiving specific and consistent answers to simple questions.
