SSI payment schedule
Here's when you can expect to receive your SSI payments for the rest of the year.
- Tuesday, Oct. 1
- Friday, Nov. 1
- Friday, Nov. 29 (for December)
For September, beneficiaries received their checks early, but the October payment date is the first, when it typically should be paid on every month.
If I get other Social Security benefits, will I get those early, too?
No. For the most part, each Social Security benefit has a straightforward schedule, with only a couple of instances where it can waver from the typical timetable. For your reference, October's Social Security payment schedule is below.
| If you've received Social Security before May 1997 | Oct. 3 |
|---|---|
| If your birthday falls between day 1 and 10 of the month | Oct. 9 |
| If your birthday falls between day 11 and 20 of the month | Oct. 16 |
| If your birthday falls between day 21 and 31 of the month | Oct 23 |
