If you’ve been waiting for your October Social Security Disability Insurance payment to arrive, this could be the week — but it depends on a couple of things. The Social Security Administration determines payment dates based on when you started receiving SSDI and the day your birthday falls on.
We’ll help you find out when your SSDI money could arrive this month. Note that the SSDI schedule is similar to Social Security payments unless you’ve been getting SSDI checks for several decades. We’ll explain below. For more, did you know there’s another COLA increase coming in 2024?
SSDI payment schedule if you’ve received them 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, however. 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, June 3 fell on a Saturday, so beneficiaries received their payments on Friday, June 2.
