Final January checks for Social Security Disability Insurance beneficiaries are going out this week. Those payments include the new cost of living adjustment increase of 3.2%. Whether your payment comes with this round depends on when you started receiving SSDI, as well as your birthday.
Below, we’ve listed the dates for when your SSDI money could arrive. Note that SSDI is paid the same day as Social Security payments.
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.
