When you receive Social Security benefits your checks are paid on certain days depending on your birthday and the type of disability benefits you receive. Here is what you need to know about Social Security Payment cycles.

When you are approved for disability benefits from Social Security you will receive a check every month. If you are not receiving SSI benefits along with your Social Security, your checks will be issued on a certain payment cycles. Payment cycles are determined based on your birthday.

If your birthday falls on:

The 1st through the 10th: Your check is paid on the second Wednesday of every month

The 11th through the 20th: Your check is paid on the third Wednesday of every month

the 21st through the 31st: Your check is paid on the fourth Wednesday of every month

If you receive SSI payments in addition to your Social Security benefits, your disability check will be paid on the 3rd of every month. The SSI check is paid on the 1st of the month. If your State is paying your Medicare part B premiums for you, Social Security will change your payment cycle to the 3rd of each month even if you do not receive SSI payments. If your payment day falls on a weekend or holiday, Social Security will make your payments on the business day before.
