If you're talking about retirement benefits, you should receive your first check or deposit in the month following your first month of eligibility; benefits are always paid in arrears. If you're talking about disability benefits, there is a five month waiting period, so you should receive your first check or deposit in the sixth month after the date disability was approved.
Benefits are paid according to the birth date of the person whose earning record is being used to issue payment:
1st - 10th.....................second Wednesday of month
11th - 20th...................third Wednesday of month
21st - 31st....................fourth Wednesday of month
SSDI + SSI...................third day of month
Approved prior to 1997...third day of month
SSI only........................first day of month
If the regularly scheduled payment falls on a holiday, the benefit will be issued one business day prior to the usual date.
Generally, SSI payments arrive on the first of the month. For example, a May payment would arrive on May 1. See the link for further information.

If a railroad worker had worked under Social Security before becoming a Railroad worker can they also receive Social Security benefits?
They can but that person's Railroad Retirement is going to be reduced. Here is a link to the Railroad Retirement Board's website that explains all the details about Railroad Retirement and Social Security Benefits. The tier I portion of a railroad retirement annuity is based on both railroad retirement and nonrailroad social security credits acquired by an employee and reflects what social security would pay if railroad work were covered by social security. Tier I benefits are, therefore, reduced by the amount of any actual social security benefit paid on the basis of nonrailroad employment, in order to prevent a duplication of benefits based on the same earnings. .
Will I lose my retirement accounts or payments from social security if I file for bankruptcy?
Generally, no. Retirement accounts that are ERISA-qualified aren't considered property of an estate and cannot be taken. Social Security benefits are generally protected from assignment, or garnishment for debts in bankruptcy. The Social Security Administration's responsibility for protecting benefits against legal process and assignment usually ends when the beneficiary is paid. Once paid, the benefits continue to be protected only as long as they can be identified as Social Security benefits. For example, money in a bank account where the "only" deposits into the account are direct deposits of Social Security benefits are "identifiable" and generally protected.

Can a person draw survial benefits and their social security benefits?
I worked for the Fed Govt for 35 yrs before that I worked and paid 48 quarters into Social Security, my wife worked for the Railroad and was covered by Railroad Retirement, we are now retired. My Social Security was reduced under the Windfall Elimination Clause of the Social Security Act. I was entitled to a portion of my wife's Railroad Retirement Benefits. The Railroad Retirement Board recently informed me that they were reducing my benefits because I have a Federal pension. This is a double hit, since my Social Security benefits have already been reduced by 45%? I have appealed this ruling and hope to have it reversed. Can they reduce both benefits due to a Federal pension being drawn?
