The Social Security Administration releases a payment calendar each year that shows when Social Security Retirement Benefits, Disability Benefits, and Supplemental Security Income Benefits will be paid each month. In this post, we will review in detail the October 2019 Social Security Payment Schedule.
Why is this important? Because knowing when your Social Security benefits will be paid each month allows you to plan better so that you are not put in a situation where you are expecting benefit payments and they are not yet paid.
It also helps you plan your bill payments better so that you can schedule when you mail checks or initiate online bill pay.

How Social Security Payment Schedule Works
When you receive your Social Security benefits (SS and SSDI) depends on your birthday.
- If your birthday falls between the 1st and 10th of the month, you’ll receive SSDI benefits on the 2nd Wednesday of every month.
- If your birthday falls between the 11th and 20th of the month, your benefits will come on the 3rd Wednesday of every month.
- If your birthday falls between the 21st and the last day of the month, your payments will come on the 4th Wednesday of every month.
October 2019 Social Security Payment Schedule
If you are on Social Security benefits, planning ahead is a big part of making sure your benefit payments go the distance.
As you plan for the month of October 2019, knowing when you can expect to get your Social Security checks is important.
You can plan accordingly and make sure your bills are paid on time. It also helps you avoid surprises in case your benefit payment is going to be delayed due to a weekend or holiday.
Here is when to Expect Your Social Security Payment for October:
Social Security and Social Security Disability Insurance (SS and SSDI)
For those receiving Social Security Retirement Benefit or Disability Benefits, here is your payment schedule for October:
- If your birth date falls on the 1st – 10th day of the month, benefits are paid on October 9th.
