The final round of June Social Security Disability Insurance payments is coming this week. Three other rounds already went out this month to those who’ve been receiving SSDI since May 1997 and people with birthdays falling between the first and 20th.
When your money arrives depends on two things: your date of birth and the year you first started receiving SSDI money. Note that SSDI follows a similar schedule to Social Security payments unless you’ve been getting SSDI checks for several decades. We’ll explain below.
SSDI payment schedule if you’ve received them since 1997 or earlier
If you’ve been an SSDI recipient since May 1997 or before, your payment should arrive on the third day of every month.
There are exceptions, however. If the third day of the month falls on a weekend or holiday, you’ll get your payment on the nearest business day. For example, June 3 fell on a Saturday, so beneficiaries received their payments on Friday, June 2.

The SSDI payment schedule for everyone else depends on their birthday
Payments for those who haven’t been receiving SSDI money since 1997 or before follow the same schedule as Social Security. Here’s how it works:
If your birthday falls between the 1st and 10th of the month, your payment will be sent out on the second Wednesday of the month.
If your birthday falls between the 11th and 20th of the month, your payment will be sent out on the third Wednesday of the month.
If your birthday falls between the 21st and 31st of the month, your payment will be sent out on the fourth Wednesday of the month.
When you’ll get your SSDI June payment
Here’s when your payment should arrive, based on your date of birth:
June 14: SSDI payment for those with birthdays falling between the 1st and 10th of any given month.
June 21: SSDI payment for those with birthdays falling between the 11th and 20th of any given month.
June 28: SSDI payment for those with birthdays falling between the 21st and 31st of any given month.
