1. Check Online Through Your My Social Security Account
The fastest and most convenient way to check your SSDI payment status is through your My Social Security account.
- How to access:
- Visit ssa.gov/myaccount
- Log in with your username and password
- If you don’t have an account, create one by verifying your identity with personal and financial information
- What you can see:
- Current payment status
- Payment dates and amounts
- Your annual benefits statement
- Notices or updates from SSA regarding your payments
Creating a My Social Security account is highly recommended as it allows you to manage your benefits easily from any device.
2. Use the SSA Automated Phone System
You can check your payment status by calling the Social Security Administration’s automated phone line:
- Number: 1-800-772-1213
- Hours: Available 24/7 for automated services; if you need to speak with a representative, call between 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday
When calling, have your Social Security number and personal details ready to verify your identity.
3. Contact Your Local SSA Office
If you prefer in-person assistance or need help understanding your payment details:
- Locate your nearest SSA office using the office locator tool at ssa.gov/locator
- Visit during business hours to speak with a representative who can review your payment records
Remember to bring a valid photo ID and your Social Security number when visiting.
4. Review Your Bank Statements
If you have set up direct deposit, you can check your payment status by reviewing your bank account:
- SSDI payments are usually deposited on a specific Wednesday each month, based on your birth date:
- 1st-10th: Second Wednesday
- 11th-20th: Third Wednesday
- 21st-31st: Fourth Wednesday
If your payment is not reflected in your account within the expected timeframe, follow up with SSA immediately.
5. Troubleshooting Missing Payments
If your payment is delayed or missing:
- Check your My Social Security account for updates or notices
- Ensure your bank account details are correct and up-to-date with SSA
- Contact SSA at 1-800-772-1213 to report a missing payment
- If you recently changed banks or addresses, processing updates may cause temporary delays
