How often can I expect to receive a check?

In Virginia, Social Security Disability benefits are typically paid on a monthly basis to qualifying individuals. Depending on the type of claim, the amount of the check can vary greatly. Typically, you can expect to receive a check from the Social Security Administration every month on the third day of the month. This payment schedule holds true if you qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), or both. Payments are generally made by direct deposit into your bank account, or with a prepaid debit card. If you are receiving SSI, you can expect to receive a retroactive payment due to the back pay that is often awarded in SSI cases. This retroactive payment could be paid in a lump sum, or it may be spread out over multiple months. If you are awarded back pay, be sure to save some of the money for future needs, since your regular monthly checks will not be adjusted for the retroactive payment when it arrives. If you have questions about your Social Security Disability payment schedule in Virginia, it is best to contact the Social Security Administration directly for the most accurate information.
