With October approaching, many Social Security recipients are wondering when their next check will arrive. Your exact payment date depends on factors like when you started receiving benefits and your birthdate. Here’s a breakdown of the payment schedule and answers to common questions about Social Security benefits.
October 2024 Payment Schedule
For October 2024, the Social Security Administration (SSA) will follow the usual staggered payment schedule:
- October 3, 2024: For individuals receiving both Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or those who started receiving benefits before May 1997.
- October 9, 2024: For beneficiaries born between the 1st and 10th of the month.
- October 16, 2024: For beneficiaries born between the 11th and 20th of the month.
- October 23, 2024: For beneficiaries born between the 21st and 31st of the month.
If you’re unsure about when to expect your check, the SSA distributes payments based on birthdates for those who started receiving benefits after 1997.
What to Do If You Haven’t Received Your September Payment
If you’re still waiting for your September payment, there could be several reasons for the delay, such as a bank holiday or postal delay. You can always check the status of your payment through your online Social Security account or by calling the SSA.
