  What do I do if I did not receive my SSI check?
  Question
  What do I do if I did not receive my Supplemental Security Income (SSI) check?
  Answer
 

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients generally receive their payment on the first day of the month.  If the 1st falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the SSI check should arrive on the previous banking day.

If you are receiving checks by mail, wait 3 days after the date you normally receive your check. If still not received contact us at 1-800-772-1213. You should also consider receiving future checks by direct deposit.

If you normally receive your check by direct deposit to your bank, report a non receipt of payment immediately to 1-800-772-1213. People who are deaf or hard of hearing may call our toll-free TTY number, 1-800-325-0778, between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Monday through Friday.
