What day will my ssi check be deposited

Q: Does SSI have 2 checks in 2022?

According to the SSAs schedule of Social Security benefits for 2022, SSI recipients will receive two payments in September. If you received Social Security before May 1997 — or if youre receiving both Social Security and SSI — then you will receive your Social Security payment on Sept. 2nd and SSI on Sept.

Social Security bases its payment dates on the birthday of the person on whose record the benefit payment is received. Therefore, if you are entitled to Social Security Disability benefits due to a disability, your own birthday is used to determine your payment date. In the case of a spouse receiving survivor’s benefits, however, the payment date will be based on the birth date of the deceased individual upon whose work record the benefit payments are based.

If the birth date of the person upon whom the benefits are based falls between the 1st and 10th days of the month, then benefits will be paid on the second Wednesday of the month. If that birthday falls between the 11th and the 20th, benefits will be paid on the third Wednesday of the month. And finally, if that birthday falls between the 21st and the 31st of the month, benefits will be paid on the fourth Wednesday of the month. If your payment date happens to land on a Federal holiday, the Social Security Administration will make your payment on nearest preceding day that is not a Federal holiday.

The date you receive your benefits does not affect the amount of your benefits, and the date that you will begin receiving your Social Security Disability payment is included in your award notice.

Social Security Disability benefits are paid monthly on an accrual basis. This means that the payment you receive for one month represents the total amount of benefits owed for the previous month. For example, the Social Security Disability check that you receive in February will represent the total benefit payment accrued and owed from the preceding January.

The Social Security Administration asks that you allow three days to pass after your payment date before you contact Social Security to report non-receipt of your payment. Because most Social Security Disability payments are made by direct deposit, however, it is rare that a payment is not made on time. Another payment option is the Direct Express® card program, with which payments are credited directly to a swipe-able card. An Electronic Transfer Account is a third method that makes automatic payments on your behalf using your Social Security Disability benefits.

Social Security benefit payments are deposited on the second, third, or fourth Wednesday of each month, depending on your day of birth. This payment schedule has been in effect since June 1997.

The same schedule applies whether you're collecting Social Security retirement benefits, Social Security disability benefits, or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Most Social Security recipients are retirees, however. Approximately 50 million individuals and families received retirement benefits in June 2021, according to the Social Security Administration (SSA).

The Usual Schedule

Expect your Social Security payment to be deposited:

On the second Wednesday of each month if you were born on the first through the 10th day of the month
On the third Wednesday of each month if you were born between the 11th and 20th day of the month
On the fourth Wednesday if you were born between the 21st and the 31st day of the month

Children or spouses who receive benefits based on someone else's work record should receive their payments on the same day as that individual.

Exceptions to the Usual Schedule

Your payment will arrive on an alternate schedule if you fall into certain categories. It will be made on the third day of the month if:

Your state is paying your Medicare premiums
You started receiving benefits prior to May 1, 1997
You reside in another country
You're receiving both Social Security benefits and SSI payments

But there's an exception to the Social Security/SSI rule. You'll receive payment on the first of the month rather than the third day if you're receiving SSI due to disability, blindness, or age.

SSI is needs-based. It's not something you paid into over the course of your working career, like Social Security retirement or disability benefits or Medicare, so it's possible to collect for these reasons without also receiving Social Security retirement or disability benefits. SSI is intended to pay for basic food, shelter, and clothing needs.

Note

Your payment will come the weekday just before the usual date if your payment date falls on a weekend or a federal holiday.

You can find calendars on the Social Security Administration's website, Schedule of Social Security Benefit Payments 2022, to pin down the exact dates in 2022 depending on your circumstances.

When Will I Receive My First Payment?

Social Security retirement benefits, as well as disability and survivor benefits, are paid in the month after the month the payment represents. For example, you can expect your first direct deposit to occur in June according to the day-of-birth schedule if your first month of receiving benefits is May.

Electronic Delivery of Payments

The Social Security Administration no longer mails paper checks, although the U.S. Department of the Treasury does occasionally make some isolated exceptions to this rule. Otherwise, there are two ways you can receive your benefits:

You can request direct deposit. Payments will be automatically posted into your bank account on your payment date.
Your benefits will be paid to a Direct Express debit card if you don't have a bank account or if you don't sign up for direct deposit. Payments are automatically posted to your card account on your payment day. The card works anywhere that takes Debit Mastercard, and you can use it to get cash at ATMs or cash back at the grocery store, or to set up automatic payment of your monthly bills.

Note

You have a third option if you're receiving Social Security disability benefits. You can set up an Electronic Transfer Account with the SSA, which will make automatic payments on your behalf from your disability benefits.

What If My Payment Doesn't Come?

The Social Security Administration asks that you first contact your bank or financial institution if your direct deposit or debit card funds aren't received on time. You should then call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 or contact your local Social Security office. The SSA asks that you wait three days before reaching out, however.

The risk of your "check" being stolen is virtually eliminated if you use the direct deposit option because the money is transmitted electronically and directly to your bank account.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

If you already receive Social Security benefits, you can start or update your direct deposit by visiting your online my Social Security account. Simply log in, navigate to your profile page, and input your direct deposit information. You can set this change to take effect immediately or at a specified later date. If you receive SSI benefits, don't have a U.S. mailing address, or otherwise aren't able to make this change online, you can contact your bank or call the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213.

Social Security payments generally arrive on time. However, if your payment is delayed for some reason, contact your bank or financial institution. Once three days have passed without payment, you can reach out to the Social Security Administration to follow up.
