One of the best things the United States Social Security Administration does is to announce the payment schedule. This way, former workers who are now collecting a Social Security benefit can know the exact date of the monthly check. With this information, it is easier to organize household finances and control monthly expenses. If you have a retirement or disability subsidy accepted, you can know which day of the month you will receive it.
The organization of Social Security payments is always the same every year. With the calendar, it is easy to know when your subsidy money will be available. However, these dates are to determine when the SSA sends the money. It can take up to 3 days to arrive in your bank account if you have not activated Direct Deposit. However, activating Direct Deposit is free and you do not need a bank account to do so.

When will I receive my benefit?
To find out when you will receive your benefit, all you have to do is pay attention to your date of birth. Knowing this, it is very easy to know which day of each month you will collect Social Security. Here is the scheme to follow:
- Second Wednesday of the month: People born between the 1st and 10th will receive their benefit.
- Third Wednesday of the month: SSA sends the subsidy to those born between the 11th and 20th.
- Fourth Wednesday of the month: SSA sends the benefit to beneficiaries whose birthday is between the 21st and 31st.
