2026 VA Disability Payment Schedule

by Neil Woods

What is the VA disability pay schedule for 2026?

The VA sends out direct deposit disability payments on the first of every month. When your VA payment falls on a weekend or a federal holiday, it will be deposited on the last business day of the previous week. Because of this, the VA disability pay schedule can sometimes be a little tricky.

VA payments are made for the previous month. For example, payments for August are sent on September 1. If you have recently been approved to receive VA disability payments, your first check should arrive at the start of the next month after your approval. If you have a deposit from “VACP TREAS 310,” that means you’ve received a payment from the VA!
