When are social security payments made with direct deposit?
 

I was approved for disability and I am waiting on my first payment. They are scheduled for the third wednesday of each month. I figured with direct deposit you would see them on that Wednesday. It is now Friday afternoon and I haven't seen it. Is this normal or should I be worried. Anyone have any experience with this?
Thank you

I recieved my first ssdi check on the third wed. with direct deposit, no problems.

Mine came on the 20th via direct deposit.....the 3rd Wednesday, as always

Did they tell you it would start this month ?

When I started getting SSDI, I got the big back pay check in the mail, then I called them with the direct deposit info and that started the next month.

I have been waiting 9 months for my kids' checks.....they keep telling me "Well, you should get by next month" Glad I'm not holding my breath ! Call them Tuesday morning, because it sounds like they are not paying you until next month. I hope I'm wrong

Your benefit letter should have stated what month it would start. It can be one or two months after you are approved.
