2026 Social Security Payment Dates - AOL.com
Here is the 2026 Calendar for when you will receive your Social Security payments. There is a different set of rules for those who claimed their Social Security benefits before May 1997 and receive their payments on the 3rd of each month. It is the same as for someone receiving both Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability (SSDI). Those who claimed May 1997 or later receive their Social Security payments on a Wednesday based on the day of their birthday. SSI is always paid on the 1st of each month. Regardless of your payment date, you will receive your payment before any holiday or weekend.
