Find out when your April SSDI check will arrive.

More Social Security Disability Insurance beneficiaries can expect to get their April payments this week. If you're not sure whether your SSDI payment will arrive this week, we can help you find out. 

There are four scheduled payment dates throughout the month of April and one has already gone out. The day your payment comes depends on when you started receiving SSDI, as well as your birth date. If you don't get a payment by the end of the month, you may need to contact the Social Security Administration.

Below, we've listed the dates for when your SSDI money could arrive. Note that SSDI is paid on the same day as Social Security payments.

Payment schedule if you've received SSDI since 1997 or earlier

If you've been an SSDI recipient since May 1997 or before, your payment should arrive on the third day of every month.

There are exceptions. If the third day of the month falls on a weekend or holiday, you'll get your payment on the nearest business day. For example, March 3 fell on a weekend, so some SSDI recipients received their payments two days early, on March 1.

When your check arrives depends on your birth date and the year you started receiving SSDI money.

Schedule for everyone else depends on their birthday

Payments for those who haven't been receiving SSDI since 1997 or before follow the same schedule as Social Security. Here's how it works:

  • If your birthday falls between the first and 10th of the month, your payment will be sent on the second Wednesday of the month.
  • If your birthday falls between the 11th and 20th of the month, your payment will be sent on the third Wednesday of the month.
  • If your birthday falls between the 21st and 31st of the month, your payment will be sent on the fourth Wednesday of the month.
