In general, Social Security assigns payment dates according to the below:
  • If you were born on the 1st through the 10th of the month, you’ll be paid on the second Wednesday of the month.
  • If you were born on the 11th through the 20th of the month, you’ll be paid on the third Wednesday of the month.
  • If you were born after the 20th of the month, you’ll be paid on the fourth Wednesday of the month.
* Please note, the Social Security Administration may send payments early, however this is when they are obligated to have them deposited by.
