If your birthday falls on a Wednesday, you should receive your payment on the first or tenth of that particular month.

How to Verify the Legitimacy of ‘New Stimulus Check’ Claims for Social Security
Your birthday determines when you get paid if you are solely receiving Social Security benefits and did not begin receiving them before May 1997. If your birthday falls on a day other than the first or the tenth of any given month, you will receive your check on Wednesday.
On the first, SSI beneficiaries got their checks. April 3 was payment day for anyone who received Social Security benefits prior to May 1997; payments for those who receive both Social Security and SSI should have been made on April 1 and April 3, respectively.
Those recipients whose birthdays fall between April 11 and April 20 will receive their benefits on April 17, and those whose birthdays fall between April 21 and April 31 will receive their checks on April 24.
Social Security benefits for those who began receiving them before May 1997 are payable on April 3.
