SSDI Payment October: This week is great news for millions of Americans who depend on Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). On Wednesday, October 9, some beneficiaries will see payments in their bank accounts, so mark your calendars. Here’s what you need to know about this important payment and whether you can expect more funds soon.
SSDI payments are sent out based on your birthdate. They are paid on the second, third, and fourth Wednesdays of each month. If you’re waiting for your October payment, here’s how the schedule works:

SSDI Payment October: Additional days for payment
If you belong to a different payment category, like those who started getting benefits before May 1997 or those who also receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI), you will receive your SSDI payments on the third of each month. Your SSI payments usually come on the first.
What should you do if you don’t get your payment?
While delays are uncommon, they can happen. The Social Security Administration (SSA) advises you to wait three business days before taking action. If your payment is still missing after that, first check with your bank. If it’s not there, you can call, email, or visit a local SSA office to talk to someone.
Just remember, October 9 is only the first round of SSDI payments for the month! Keep an eye on your account to ensure you receive the full amount you’re owed!
