SSDI Payment Schedule August: Social Security disability benefits are usually paid on the second, third, and fourth Wednesdays of each month, depending on the recipient’s birth date. If you receive benefits based on someone else’s work record, your payment date will match their birth date. These payments assist eligible workers in covering monthly expenses and are directly deposited into bank accounts.

- Third Wednesday: Payments for those born from the 11th to the 20th.
- Fourth Wednesday: Payments for those born from the 21st to the 31st.
- For those who started receiving benefits before May 1997, payments are made on the third of each month.

What to do if you don’t make or send your payment on time
The main way that Social Security benefits are sent online is through direct deposit to a bank account or a Direct Express Debit Mastercard. If you’re late on a payment, call your bank first to see if they are still having trouble. If the bank isn’t having any problems, call or go to your local Social Security office and ask for help from the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778).
