Question: what day of the month do federal retirees get paid?
Answer: Retired and annuitant pay is due on the first of the month. However, if the first falls on a weekend or holiday, retirees get paid on last business day of the prior month and annuitants get paid on the first business day of month. For example, payment to retirees for December 2019 will be paid on December 31, 2019.
