For most people who receive Social Security benefits, there are three different payment dates, depending on the beneficiary's date of birth. As always this can be confusing, hopefully the below info will help.
(Note: If you started receiving Social Security retirement benefits before May 1997, these payment dates don't apply to you).

(Note: If you started receiving Social Security retirement benefits before May 1997, these payment dates don't apply to you).
- If your birthday falls on the first through tenth, then your Social Security benefits will be paid on the second Wednesday of each month.
- If your birthday falls on the 11th through 20th, your Social Security benefits will be paid on the third Wednesday of each month.
- If your birthday falls on the 21st through 31st, your Social Security benefits will be paid on the fourth Wednesday of each month.
For 2017, the specific dates of your Social Security retirement benefit payments are:
Birthday on 1st-10th
|
Birthday on 11th-20th
|
Birthday on 21st-31st

If Receiving Benefits Before May 1997
If you started receiving Social Security benefits before May 1997, then the dates in the chart above don't apply to you. Instead, your benefit will be paid on the third of every month.
If the third day of the month happens to fall on a Saturday or Sunday, then your benefit will be paid on the Friday before. For example, Sept. 3, 2017 is a Sunday, so this group of beneficiaries will be paid on Friday, Sept. 1.
This schedule also applies if you receive both Social Security retirement benefits and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

If you receive SSI but no other type of Social Security benefits, then your monthly payment will be made on the first of each month. If the first falls on a Saturday or Sunday, then your SSI benefit will be paid on the Friday before. For example, July 1, 2017 is a Saturday, so SSI recipients will be paid on Friday, June 30.
The Social Security Administration provides a calendar that you can print out.
