When to Expect Your SSDI Payments: Understanding the Payment Schedule

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) helps Americans who can’t work due to a disability. The benefits are paid by the Social Security Administration (SSA) on specific Wednesdays each month based on when you were born, according to the report of Marca.

For example, if you were born between the 1st and 10th of any month and you get paid on the second Wednesday. Those born from the 11th to the 20th get paid on the third Wednesday, and those born between the 21st and 31st get paid on the fourth Wednesday. People who joined SSDI before May 1997 get paid on the 1st of each month. If you also receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI), SSDI payments come on the 1st, and SSI payments on the 3rd.
