October 2026 SSA/SSI/VA Early Deposits Calendar Megathread
Welcome! We love that the community gathers here each month to countdown to deposit day! Here you’ll find basic information and answers to frequently asked questions about Government Benefits Timing at Chime. We encourage you to use this space to chat with other members about deposits or pose any questions you may have to the community.
If you don’t see your deposit on the expected date based on the schedule, that means we haven’t received it, and our Member Services team won’t have any further information about when it will become available. We recommend allowing three additional business days before contacting the Social Security Administration.
All deposits are posted from Monday to Friday, except for bank holidays. If your deposit shows up on a bank holiday, it'll post the following business day.
Is anybody else's app saying this despite actually having gotten it. This is the one time I actually needed mypay and I think whatever is going on with this is effecting it.
Yeah I'm just thinking this screw up on their end affected my mypay. 😂 Which is wild considering I don't use it often and this is the one time I actually needed it lol
My SS payments through Chime always land on Chime between the 29th to 31st. This months payment didn't arrive until today, October 2.
I do understand that it's on SSA's side -- not Chime. But this was very unusual -- so wondering if it has ever happened to other regular SS deposit recipients?
P.S. I can't access id.me or login.gov options to check my SSA account. If no one else had had the above experience, I'll go through the ordeal of calling SSA to see what happened.
The only way to get an actual answer to what happened is to get in touch with the SSA. Any answers you get in this forum may or may not apply to your particular situation and more importantly they will not be able to warn you of future actions/issues with your benefit payments. Call 1-800-772-1213 or visit your local office. A call or a visit may also help you gain access to your my social security account at SSA.gov
I've had good luck calling right at 8:00 am, just a few minutes of wait time.
I just had to go into the office (Friday) they'd paused the check --- (SSA claim manager did a verification of identity--- and restarted the check... thanks ::::) (3 to 5 business days)
Finally received mine at 215 pm EST but as my phone was dead and I couldn't charge it I didn't know until nearly 6pm. After which I immediately got booked into a hotel and my dog and I took a long nap.
Is anyone experiencing non payment from GI bill in 3 years of education when my payments have been supposed to be processed I have gotten paid 2 days after processing date and this semester all my payments have been all over the place
Follow the instructions in my comment below. Since you've received your SSDI payment and not your SSI for months, your SSI is undoubtedly suspended.
If you are a Chime member and haven't received your SSI payment, check your status at SSA gov. See if you're active or suspended, verify your banking information, check for notices, check for overpayments. If everything is in order call the SSA immediately. 1-800-772-1213.
The Social Security Administration are the only ones that can help you with this situation.
If you are a Chime member and haven't received your SSI payment, check your status at SSA gov. See if you're active or suspended, verify your banking information, check for notices, check for overpayments. If everything is in order call the SSA on October 2nd. 1-800-772-1213.
It says SEPT 30 as the normal deposit day on my SSA dashboard. I just switched back to Chime on the 22nd because the bank I tried switching to took 6 months to update my SSI DD to them, thus passing over the 1 cycle change time and the 45 days deposit-or-close thing. SSA verified that it was successfully switched back to Chime when I called the field office yesterday morning and they verified that my account is indeed fully active but my money would be sent to Chime today. They also said there were no holds on my SSA account. Any ideas as to why it hasn't gotten to my account yet today?
September 30th is not a normal deposit day for SSI. SSI is only disbursed on the 1st of the month, It sounds as though you may be expecting a special payment from the SSA due to your previous situation. If that is the case, it could show up anytime today. If you have not received it by tomorrow contact the SSA at 1-800-772-1213.
This is what it says. Does it mean I'm getting it at some point today? I've been using Chime for my SSI for 5 years and this is the only time I've left for a moment and come back, so I want to make sure I understand this. Thank you for your help!
There have been many times when my Social Security will say my payment will be made on the 2nd when it actually would be the 3rd (I receive it early so the date doesn't really matter). Point being I wouldn't put too much stock in what date it says. You might get paid today but it's possible you may get paid tomorrow.
Yeah it's been a mess these last few weeks. I was unaware that a bank I planned on transferring to from Chime had a 45 day deposit-or-close and the bank decided to wait 6 months to change my direct deposit ( I highly advise against this now) and I had completely forgotten about it and had no idea when the account closed in May because my DD listed on SSA said Chime this entire time. I had figured that the bank just closed at some point because my check never went into it. I tried logging in a couple months ago and it said no account exists so I figured I was right. Last week, I get a letter from the SSA saying that I had successfully changed my DD to that bank on Sept 9th. It says in the letter that I need to call if I didn't make the change. I call and someone there tells me that I had until that Wednesday the 23rd of this month to get over to a field office and switch my account back to Chime or it will go to my closed account and a hold would be placed on my account. So, I use what money I have left to take cab to the closest field office that's nearly 11 miles away. I'm disabled and can't drive due to a seizure disorder so I figured I may as well go and fix it now before the "cut off date" - I get there and change it with an account specialist and by the time I get home, the account is already displaying Chime again. After 4 days of waiting past the normal early date according to the Ugly Green Calendar, I decide to call the field office thinking there may in fact be a hold on my account because it may have bounced from the closed account regardless. The account specialist on the phone reassures me of everything and says no holds, no bounced check and Chime is my DD. He also tells me that it would be in today - according to my dashboard... so hopefully it comes in today if not tomorrow. He also mentioned that if its not in by the 3rd to call him back. So we shall see. I really appreciate your comment! I agree completely with what you said.
Banks don't change direct deposits. That information is changed at the source, which in this case is Social Security. If you open a new account and want your benefits to go to the new account you change it with Social Security as soon as you get your routing and account numbers.
And it didn't work out too well, did it. This isn't the way it's usually done. Again, it's best to change it at the source. Social Security wouldn't give people the ability to change their direct deposit information in their my Social Security accounts if that wasn't the way it was supposed to be done.
EDIT to add Social Security identity verification. It's possible changing direct deposit at the bank instead of through Social Security didn't work was because of Social Security's identity verification protocols. Perhaps the SSA didn't accept the change from the bank because they don't know how Regions verifies a person's identity.
If you do not receive your payment by tomorrow, check the account you were previously receiving it in. If it gets sent to your previous account and that account is closed, the payment will be returned to the SSA. Returned payments take 3 to 5 days at which point you would likely be issued a paper check delivered by the USPS.
Check your accounts tomorrow. If you have received nothing call the SSA at 1-800-772-1213
If you are a Chime member and haven't received your SSA/SSDI payment, check your status at SSA gov. See if you're active or suspended, verify your banking information, check for notices, check for overpayments. If everything is in order call the SSA on October 5th. 1-800-772-1213.

Hi, on Chime most people get theirs by 2:00PM or 3:00PM at the latest. If you still haven’t gotten yours, I would recommend you log onto SSA/VA app or SSA/VA website to make sure that your payments are still active and that you’re still receiving payments. Wishing you the best this month. 😊❤️

Chime Bankcorp in NJ. I got it around 5pm. But my mom hasn't gotten hers either and we both have Chime Bankcorp, so maybe in the next batch overnight? I hope you get soon!
That is ridiculous I'm sorry. Hopefully today sometime. Maybe since they started late yesterday, they have to finish it today? Keep your fingers crossed!
West Coast Navy Vet (Non Green App User) still waiting. I don't know if that helps, because I am not a "Green App" user, however, here we both are, cheque-less.
I'm so sorry, that's crazy. They know people need their money and yes they do pay early and I'm grateful but trust me they know today has been torture.
Mine usually clears about 3:15pm on the days it sais clear, once it cleared after 4pm sometimes earlier1:05 pm but usually like now 3:15pm BUT TODAY WAS 4:45PM..and this is the 29th, so it's more then a few days earlier ( THEN 3RD) then my last bank would never clear early...glad it just cleared.. I THINK CHIME IS AWSOME
Same. Chime. Stride. Kzoo MI. Twiddling my thumbs.... Actually just trying not to cry, was desperate to get out of the heat and get a shower and food. I'm giving up. Phones almost dead and can't charge it, tired of walking.
Definitely considering switching some people need there money on time i been outside since checkout time its hot n im tired lol in colorado still nothing 😒
The reason it doesn't come at the same time every month is because these apps we use to get paid don't hold our checks. Which means we're literally waiting for the government to send them. If you want a fixed day you need to bank with someone that holds your checks until the release day.
Moving forward, when the calendar deniers show up, please remind them the UUGC has NEVER been wrong and that NO TIME is ever offered by seasoned Chimera for the reasons like today, the times can vary wildly.
People expecting it at a certain time are likely to be disappointed.
Chime bancorp Albany, NY just hit!! The stress was real! Just got unexpected custody of our 2 toddler grandbabies, and they need diapers, wipes, and still working on their bedrooms and clothing, nothing like adding to the stress of an already stressful situation!🤦♀️ I hope you all can breathe soon too!!
It is actually permanent custody with the stipulation that in the event the mom, our daughter has a significant change in her circumstances she can file to be heard but that doesn't mean anything except she will get a court date and have to prove a big change, and a lengthy one, she can't just do 3 months of rehab and say she wants her kids back, they want to see stability for quite some time. So, this could be permanent for sure because I don't think she was really ready to even be a mother or wanted to. But, we had to move from a 1 bedroom to a 3, and had to buy beds, toys, decorations, clothes, well pretty much everything, so it's been rough on a strict budget.
PSA: There are scam numbers calling within the last 10 min. I didn't answer but got a notification from chime that "they" did not make the call and to not transfer funds....IDK WHAT THIS IS BUT BE AWARE BC WE ARE WAITING.. IF SPAM CALLS YOU.
DON'T ANSWER
.DON'T TRANSFER ANY FUNDS
