More Social Security Disability Insurance beneficiaries can expect to get their April payments this week. If you’re not sure whether your SSDI payment will arrive this week, we can help you find out.
There are four scheduled payment dates throughout the month of April and one has already gone out. The day your payment comes depends on when you started receiving SSDI, as well as your birth date. If you don’t get a payment by the end of the month, you may need to contact the Social Security Administration.
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, March 3 fell on a weekend, so some SSDI recipients received their payments two days early, on March 1.
