1. How Are SSDI Payment Dates Determined?

SSDI payments are deposited based on your birth date, following SSA’s nationwide payment schedule. Here is how it works:

• If you were born on the 1st–10th: Payments arrive on the second Wednesday of each month
• If you were born on the 11th–20th: Payments arrive on the third Wednesday of each month
• If you were born on the 21st–31st: Payments arrive on the fourth Wednesday of each month

For example, if your birthday is May 12, your SSDI payment will arrive on the third Wednesday each month.

2. How to Check Your SSDI Payment Dates in Nevada

A. Using Your My Social Security Account

The most efficient way to check your SSDI payment dates is through your My Social Security online account:

1. Visit www.ssa.gov/myaccount
2. Log in with your username and password
3. Click on “Benefits & Payments” to view your upcoming payment dates and history

If you don’t have an account yet, create one by following the registration instructions on SSA’s website. You will need to verify your identity through personal information and security questions.

B. Reviewing Your Award Letter

When you are approved for SSDI, SSA mails you an award letter that includes your payment start date and monthly benefit amount. This letter will also state your payment date based on your birth date.

C. Calling Social Security Directly

If you have questions about payment dates or did not receive your deposit on time, you can call SSA at:

• National number: 1-800-772-1213 (available Monday–Friday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.)
• TTY users: 1-800-325-0778

Be prepared with your Social Security number and personal identification information for security verification.

D. Visiting Your Local SSA Office

You can also visit your nearest Social Security office in Nevada for assistance. It is recommended to schedule an appointment to reduce waiting times.

3. What If Your SSDI Payment Is Late?

If your payment has not arrived by the scheduled date:

1. Wait at least three business days before reporting it as missing
2. Contact SSA directly to inquire about the delay
3. Confirm your bank account details are correct if you use direct deposit
4. For direct deposit issues, also contact your bank to ensure there are no holds or technical errors

4. Switching to Direct Deposit

The SSA recommends direct deposit for faster and more secure payments. You can set this up by:

• Logging into your My Social Security account
• Calling SSA at the national number
• Visiting your local SSA office with your bank routing and account numbers
