March SSDI Payment 2024: Are You Getting a Check This Week?

If you weren’t among the group of Social Security Disability Insurance beneficiaries who received this month’s payments on March 1, you may be wondering when your check will arrive. There are three rounds left to go this month, but no checks are getting disbursed this week. We’ll explain why below.

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.

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.

When you’ll get your SSDI payment in March

Here’s when your payment should arrive:

March 1: Payment for those who have received SSDI since before May 1997.
