The U.S. government, through the Social Security Administration (SSA), has confirmed the scheduled payments for October 2024.
These payments cover Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), and retirement benefits. Understanding the exact dates and conditions for these payments is crucial for beneficiaries, especially as the SSA operates on a structured monthly schedule.
Here’s a breakdown of the October payment timeline for SSI, SSDI, and retirement benefits, as well as the remaining payments for September.
Remaining September Payments
Before diving into the October schedule, there are still a few important payments left in September. If you are a retiree or SSDI recipient, September 25 is the final payday for this month. However, this payment is specifically for those born between the 21st and 31st of the month.
If you don’t qualify for this date, your next Social Security payment will fall in October, depending on your birthday and benefit type.
September Payment Dates:
- September 25: Payment for retirees and SSDI recipients born between the 21st and 31st of any month.
SSI, SSDI, and Retirement Payments for October
The SSA has outlined specific dates for October payments, based on the type of benefit and your birthday. Here’s what to expect:
SSI Payments
- October 1: All Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients will receive their monthly payment. Since SSI is paid on the 1st of each month, beneficiaries can expect their checks or direct deposits at the start of October.
SSDI and Retirement Payments
There are several key dates for SSDI and retirement payments in October, depending on the individual’s date of birth:
- October 3:
- Retirees and SSDI recipients who began receiving benefits before May 1997 will get their October payments on this date.
- Additionally, those who receive both SSI and SSDI/retirement benefits will also get their payment on October 3.

What to Do If You Haven’t Received Your Payment
If you haven’t received your Social Security payment by the expected date, it’s important to review the payment schedule to confirm your designated payday.
Most delays are resolved quickly, but if you believe your payment is missing or incorrect, you can contact the Social Security Administration either online through your My Social Security account or by calling their customer service for assistance.
The Social Security Administration’s structured payment schedule ensures that retirees, SSI recipients, and SSDI beneficiaries receive their payments on time every month.
Knowing your birthday and benefit type will help you track when to expect your October payments, which range from the 1st to the 23rd.
If you meet the criteria for SSI, SSDI, or retirement benefits, it’s crucial to keep an eye on these dates to ensure timely access to your financial support.
