When are ssi checks mailed out

The Social Security Administration (SSA) typically mails out Supplemental Security Income (SSI) checks on the following dates:

• First of the month: SSI benefits are usually paid on the first day of the month.
• 3rd of the month: For some recipients, SSI benefits may be paid on the 3rd of the month.

However, the exact payment date may vary depending on the individual's circumstances, such as:

• If the first of the month falls on a weekend or holiday, the payment may be made on the preceding business day.
• If the recipient has a direct deposit set up, the payment may be made on the same day as the regular payment date.
• If the recipient has a representative payee, the payment may be made on a different date.

It's also important to note that SSI benefits are usually paid on a monthly basis, but in some cases, benefits may be paid more frequently, such as:

• For recipients who are institutionalized, benefits may be paid on a bi-weekly or weekly basis.
• For recipients who are receiving benefits for a short period of time, benefits may be paid on a one-time basis.

If you're a SSI recipient, you can check your payment date by:

• Logging into your my Social Security account online
• Calling the SSA at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778)
• Visiting your local SSA office

Keep in mind that payment dates may be subject to change, so it's always a good idea to check your payment date regularly to ensure you receive your benefits on time.
