Paying Monthly Benefits

SSI (Supplemental Security Income) Benefits

SSI benefits are paid of the 1^st of the month. Unless the 1^st falls on the weekend then the payments will be issued the Friday before the 1^st.

RSDI (Retirement, Survivors and Disability) also referred to as SSA Benefits

Since June 1997 SSA delivers recurring RSDI benefits on four days throughout the month on the 3^rd of the month and on the second, third and fourth Wednesdays 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. Beneficiaries entitled to benefits prior to May 1997 received recurring RSDI benefits on the 3^rd of the month and continue to be paid on the 3^rd of the month. With limited exclusions, RSDI beneficiaries who filed claims on or after May 1, 1997, are assigned one of the three new payment dates based on their day of birth. All beneficiaries on a record will have the same payment day (the day of the birth of the person the Social Security number belongs to will decide the payment day) as follows.

Payment Days
Day of Birth	Assigned Payment Day
1^st – 10^th	Second Wednesday of the month
11^th – 20^th	Third Wednesday of the month
21^st – 31^st	Fourth Wednesday of the month
