When Are September 2026 VA Benefit Payments Coming?
Payments are made in arrears, meaning the benefit covering one month is generally issued at the beginning of the next. A 2026 government-benefit calendar likewise lists October 1 as the payment date for September VA benefits.The date does not require an adjustment this month because October 1 falls on a Thursday and is not a federal holiday. When the usual payment date falls on a weekend or federal holiday, payments are generally moved to the preceding business day.That will happen with October's benefits.
