The Social Security Administration (SSA) has a set payment schedule each month, and October is no exception.
As October 2023 begins, recipients of Social Security benefits are eager to know when they can expect their payments.
Social Security Payment Schedule by Birthdate
For those receiving Social Security retirement, disability, or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, the payment date largely depends on the birthdate of the primary beneficiary.
Generally, payments are issued on the second, third, or fourth Wednesday of the month.
In October 2023, the payment dates are as follows:
October 11, 2023 (Wednesday): Beneficiaries with birthdates from the 1st to the 10th of the month can anticipate their payments to be credited on this date.
October 18, 2023 (Wednesday): Those with birthdays falling between the 11th and the 20th of the month will receive their payments on this day.
October 25, 2023 (Wednesday): Beneficiaries born from the 21st to the 31st of the month will have their payments credited on this date.

Adapting Financial Plans to Payment Dates
It’s essential for recipients to be aware of their specific payment dates to plan their finances accordingly. These payments are a vital lifeline for millions of Americans, providing essential financial support for daily living expenses, healthcare, and other necessities.
In the event that the designated payment day falls on a federal holiday, payments are typically issued the preceding banking day.
Recipients are encouraged to stay informed and stay on top of any updates or changes that may affect the timing of their Social Security payments.
As always, beneficiaries can access their payment information, including the exact amount and deposit details, through the mySocialSecurity portal on the SSA’s official website.
This portal offers a convenient and secure way to manage Social Security benefits and stay informed about payment dates and other relevant information.
