Programs run by the Social Security Administration, including SSI and SSDI, are seeing major boosts for 2022.
This is thanks to the 5.9% COLA increase, which is high due to the rate of inflation.
Anyone with a birthday between the 1st and 20th of any given month has already seen their newly boosted Social Security checks for the month of January.
The final wave will go out to anyone with a birthday that lands on the 21st through the end of the month next week on Jan. 26.
The payment schedule for other programs run by the SSA have different payment dates, while some follow the Social Security schedule.

SSDI and SSI payment schedules
SSDI, or Social Security Disability Income, typically follows the same schedule as regular Social Security payments. This is only true for those that began claiming after 1997.
SSI payments are normally sent on the first of the month, unless it’s a holiday.
SSI recipients were sent payments for Jan. 2022 on Dec. 30, 2021. This means they won’t see a check until Feb.
