If your birthday falls between the 1st and 10th of the month, your payment will be sent on the second Wednesday of the month.
If your birthday falls between the 11th and 20th of the month, your payment will be sent on the third Wednesday of the month.
If your birthday falls between the 21st and 31st of the month, your payment will be sent on the fourth Wednesday of the month.
