Remember though, that if you are one of the few recipients still receiving your payments by mail, the mail is occasionally delayed and if that happens, your payments may not reach you on the first of the month. The SSA recommends calling the agency at 800-772-1213 if you have not received your check by the fourth banking day of the month. Most SSI recipients, however, are now required to receive their payments through direct deposit, the Direct Express
