1. Use Your My Social Security Account

The easiest and fastest way to check your SSDI payment status is by creating or logging into your My Social Security account online.

Steps to Check Your SSDI Payment Status Online

1. Go to www.ssa.gov/myaccount
2. Log in using your username and password. If you do not have an account, follow the prompts to create one by verifying your identity.
3. Once logged in, navigate to the “Benefits & Payments” section.
4. Here, you can view:

• Your payment history
• The date of your next payment
• The amount scheduled for deposit

This portal is available 24/7 and allows you to monitor your benefits without calling or visiting an SSA office.

2. Call the Social Security Administration

If you prefer to speak directly with an SSA representative, you can call the national SSA phone line at 1-800-772-1213. For individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, the TTY number is 1-800-325-0778.

When you call:

• Be prepared to provide your Social Security number and personal identifying information for verification
• Ask for the status of your SSDI payment, including the scheduled payment date and whether there are any delays or issues with your record

3. Visit Your Local SSA Office

You can also visit your local Social Security office in Pennsylvania to inquire about your SSDI payment status in person. It is best to:

• Schedule an appointment online or by phone to reduce wait times
• Bring a valid photo ID and your Social Security number

Use the SSA’s office locator tool at www.ssa.gov/locator to find the nearest office.

4. Check Your Bank Account Directly

If you receive direct deposits, checking your bank account or credit union online or via mobile banking is another quick way to confirm whether your SSDI payment has been deposited.

• SSDI payments are usually made on the second, third, or fourth Wednesday of each month, depending on your birth date.
• If your payment date falls on a holiday, your funds should be deposited the business day before.

5. Set Up Text or Email Alerts

Some banks and credit unions offer text or email alerts when a deposit is made to your account. Setting up these notifications can give you immediate updates on when your SSDI payment arrives.

6. What to Do If Your Payment Is Late

If your payment has not arrived:

• Wait at least three business days after your scheduled payment date before contacting SSA, as processing delays can occur.
• Check for any notices from SSA regarding delays, eligibility reviews, or account issues.
• Contact SSA to report a missing payment so they can trace and resolve the issue promptly.
