If you are receiving SSDI, it’s important to check that your payment information is correct and up-to-date with the SSA. If there are any issues with receiving your payment or if you haven’t received it yet, it’s essential to contact the SSA directly.

What to do if your payment is late or missing?
If you haven’t received your payment or if there’s an issue with the amount, reach out to the SSA right away. You can check the status of your payment online through the SSA website or contact their customer service for assistance.
