If you are a Social Security beneficiary, you may be wondering when you will receive your payment for August 2023. The payment schedule depends on several factors, such as your birth date, the type of benefit you receive, and whether you have direct deposit or not. In this blog post, we will explain the payment dates for different groups of beneficiaries and how to check your payment status online.
Payment dates for retirement, survivors, and disability benefits
The Social Security Administration (SSA) pays retirement, survivors, and disability benefits on different days of the month based on the beneficiary’s birth date. Here are the payment dates for August 2023:
- If your birth date is between the 1st and the 10th of the month, you will receive your payment on Wednesday, August 9.
- If your birth date is between the 11th and the 20th of the month, you will receive your payment on Wednesday, August 16.
- If your birth date is between the 21st and the 31st of the month, you will receive your payment on Wednesday, August 23.
If you receive benefits as a spouse, parent, or child of a worker who died, your payment date is based on the worker’s birth date.
Payment dates for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits
The SSA pays SSI benefits on the first day of each month. However, if the first day falls on a weekend or a federal holiday, the payment is made on the previous business day. For August 2023, the payment date is Monday, July 31.
Payment dates for direct deposit and paper checks
If you have direct deposit, you will receive your payment on the scheduled date. If you receive a paper check by mail, you may experience some delays due to postal service issues. The SSA recommends that you sign up for direct deposit to avoid any problems with receiving your payment. You can do so online at https://www.ssa.gov/myaccount/ or by calling 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778).
How to check your payment status online
You can check your payment status online using the SSA’s My Social Security portal. You can access it at https://www.ssa.gov/myaccount/. You will need to create an account or log in with your existing credentials. Once you are in, you can view your benefit amount, payment date, and payment history. You can also update your personal information, such as your address, phone number, and bank account details.

We hope this blog post has answered your questions about when you will receive your Social Security benefit payment for August 2023.
