About FedPayCalendar

FedPayCalendar answers two questions precisely: when your federal payment arrives and how much the official rate is. Calendars are computed directly from published federal payment rules, and every rate table is transcribed from a primary source with a verification date shown on the page.

Sources we use

• SSA — Schedule of Social Security Benefit Payments; COLA announcements.
• VA / Federal Register — compensation rate notices under 38 U.S.C. § 1114 and § 1115; payment timing under 38 U.S.C. § 5120(e).
• OPM — General Schedule salary tables and locality pay documents.
• 5 U.S.C. § 6103 — statutory federal holidays used for weekend/holiday date shifts.

Payment-rule strategies

Each benefit uses its own shift rule. SSI and VA disability move to the previous business day when the scheduled date is a weekend or holiday. OPM retirement annuities typically use the first business day of the month (forward shift). We never apply one universal algorithm across all federal payments.

Accuracy policy

Figures were last verified on 2026-07-31. We never publish estimates as facts: projected numbers (like a future COLA) are always labeled as estimates until the official announcement. We are not affiliated with any government agency and do not provide legal, benefits, or financial advice. See our Disclaimer.

Corrections

If any figure on this site differs from the official source, email corrections@fedpaycalendar.com with the page URL. We fix verified errors within 2–3 business days. See also Contact.
