€1,900 Social Security Checks: Social Security payments are a crucial part of financial planning for beneficiaries of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Any changes in payment schedules can impact how you manage your monthly budget. In 2024, several changes have been announced regarding payment dates for June, August, and September. Let’s break down the updated schedules and what they mean for you.
June 2024 Payment Changes
SSDI Payments
For beneficiaries of SSDI, payment adjustments are made when federal holidays fall on scheduled payment dates. June 19, 2024, is Juneteenth, a federal holiday. As a result, SSDI payments originally scheduled for this date will be issued a day earlier, on June 18, 2024.
This adjustment ensures timely delivery while avoiding interruptions caused by the holiday.
SSI Payments
Typically, SSI payments are deposited on the first of each month. However, when the first day of the month is a weekend or holiday, the payment is made on the previous business day. For June 2024, since June 1 is a Saturday, the payment will be made on Friday, May 31, 2024.
Summary of June Changes
- SSI Payment Date: May 31, 2024 (instead of June 1, 2024)
- SSDI Payment Date: June 18, 2024 (instead of June 19, 2024)
August and September 2024 Payment Changes
August 2024 Adjustments
Individuals who started receiving benefits before May 1997 typically receive payments on the third of each month. However, August 3, 2024, falls on a Saturday. To avoid delays, these payments will be rescheduled to Friday, August 2, 2024.
September 2024 Adjustments
SSI beneficiaries will receive two payments in August 2024 because the September 1 payment falls on a Sunday. The September payment will be issued on Friday, August 30, 2024, ensuring no gaps in your benefits.
Summary of August and September Changes
- Pre-May 1997 Benefits: August 2, 2024 (instead of August 3, 2024)
- September SSI Payment Date: August 30, 2024 (instead of September 1, 2024)
General Social Security Payment Schedule
The Social Security Administration (SSA) assigns payment dates based on birth dates and the type of benefits. Understanding this schedule can help you plan ahead.
Payment Schedule by Birth Date

- Born 11th–20th: Payments are made on the third Wednesday of the month.

Retirement, Survivor, and Disability Benefits

Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
SSI payments are generally issued on the first day of each month. If this date falls on a weekend or holiday, the payment is made on the preceding business day.
Planning Your Budget
Staying informed about payment date changes can help you manage your finances more effectively. Mark the following revised dates on your calendar to avoid surprises:
