Exact dates Social Security, SSI and SSDI are paid each month in 2022

THE Social Security Administration oversees three critical welfare programs that benefit millions of Americans.

Social Security, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) are all vital safety nets for retired and disabled Americans.

When you receive Social Security benefits depends on your birthday, with the payments going out three Wednesdays a month.

For example, if your birth date is between the first and 10th, the payment will be deposited on the second Wednesday of each month.

If your birth date is on the 11th-20th, it will be deposited on the third Wednesday of each month.

Lastly, if your birth date is on the 21st-31st, it will be deposited on the fourth Wednesday of each month.

Those on Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) generally follow the same schedule.

However, there are exceptions depending on when you started claiming, which we get into below.

Meanwhile, those who are claiming Supplemental Security Income (SSI) get theirs on the first of every month.

However, SSI claimants got their first COLA payments for 2022 on December 30, 2021, because of the holiday schedule.

Below we round up the payment schedule for Social Security, SSDI and SSI for the rest of the year.

Social Security and SSDI

Starting with Social Security, these are benefits that most seniors can start claiming once they turn 62.

And as mentioned before, SSDI claimants are on the same schedule, as long as they started claiming after 1997.

Those who qualify for SSDI are those with disabilities who can no longer work, or at the same capacity as once before.

The schedule for the remaining payments can be seen below.

October 2022

• Second Wednesday: October 12
• Third Wednesday: October 19
• Fourth Wednesday: October 26

November 2022

• Second Wednesday: November 9
• Third Wednesday: November 16
• Fourth Wednesday: November 23

December 2022

• Second Wednesday: December 14
• Third Wednesday: December 21
• Fourth Wednesday: December 28

SSDI recipients who started claiming on or before 1997

If you started receiving SSDI benefits on or ahead of 1997, you'll get your payments on the third of every month.

If the third lands on a weekend, or an eligible holiday, you'll get your benefits on the banking day before.

In other words, the day you were born does not matter.

The payment schedule is as follows for the remainder of 2022:

• October 3
• November 3
• December 2

SSI

The SSI payment schedule works similarly to those who began receiving SSDI benefits on or before 1997.

When it comes to SSI, payments are paid on the first of every month unless impacted by a holiday.

SSI recipients include adults and children with a disability or blindness who have income and resources below specific financial limits.

SSI payments are also made to people age 65 and older without disabilities who meet the financial qualifications.

The remaining 2022 payment schedule for SSI is as follows:

• November 1
• December 1
• December 30
