Some who receive Social Security Disability Insurance can expect to get their February payments this week and a day early. All other beneficiaries will get their checks later this month. Whether your payment comes with this round depends on when you started receiving SSDI, as well as your birth date.
Below, we’ve listed the dates for when your SSDI money could arrive. Note that SSDI is paid on 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, Feb. 3 falls on a Saturday, so beneficiaries will receive their payments on Friday, Feb. 2.
