The day on which disability checks will be deposited this month depends on the type of benefit and the recipients birth date. According to the Social Security Administration, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits are paid on the 1st of the month, unless the 1st falls on a weekend, in which case the payments are issued on the Friday before the 1st. For Retirement, Survivors and Disability Insurance (RSDI), which includes Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), payments are made on the 3rd of the month for beneficiaries who started receiving benefits before May 1997 or who receive both SSDI and SSI. For those who filed claims on or after May 1, 1997, payment dates are assigned based on their day of birth. The payment dates for RSDI are as follows:

• 1st – 10th: Second Wednesday of the month
• 11th – 20th: Third Wednesday of the month
• 21st – 31st: Fourth Wednesday of the month

If the Wednesday regularly scheduled for payment delivery falls on a Federal legal holiday, benefits will be paid on the first preceding day that is not a Federal legal holiday. If the 1st of the month falls on a weekend or a holiday, payments will be deposited on the banking day before.
