How often can I expect to receive a check?

In West Virginia, Social Security Disability (SSD) claimants can expect to receive a monthly check, so long as they are approved for SSD benefits. It is important to note that this check won’t come automatically; once you’ve been approved for SSD benefits, you will need to inform the Social Security Administration (SSA) of any changes in your financial situation or work status so that your benefits can be adjusted accordingly. The SSA pays benefits to SSD claimants on a particular day every month. This day is referred to as the “payment date.” Depending on your birthdate, your payment date can fall anywhere from the first to the last of each month. If the first of the month falls on a holiday or weekend, your payment date will be the day before. The SSA typically pays out benefits on the second Wednesday of every month. This is often referred to as the “second Wednesday rule.” If any of the above payment dates fall on a holiday or weekend, the SSD check will be paid the next business day. It is important to note that the payment amounts may vary from one month to the next. This is due to the fact that the SSA reviews claims at least once every three years and may adjust benefits based on the individual’s financial situation. For this reason, it is important to keep the SSA updated on any changes in your financial or work status.
