How often can I expect to receive a check?

Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits are a regular monthly payment you can expect to receive if you are approved for benefits in California. The amount of the payment will depend on the individual’s work history and how much they have paid into the Social Security system. Generally, you can expect to receive a payment once a month. In California, benefits are deposited into an individual’s direct deposit account or sent via check in the mail. It is important to remember that SSD is not a rapid-payment system and you will not receive your payment the same day you are approved for benefits. Payments are usually sent within two weeks from the date of approval, however, delays of up to one month may occur, depending on the complexity of the claim. You can expect to receive payments on the third Wednesday of every month. It is also important to note that benefits are paid for the month prior and not for the current month. For example, payments sent on the 3rd Wednesday of March are for benefits received in February. Finally, it is important to remember that any change in your disabilities or your financial situation must be reported immediately to the Social Security Administration. This can result in an increase or decrease in the amount of benefits you will receive. In either case, any changes will be reflected in your monthly payments.
