I was very curious about this issue also.  I spent about 4 hours on the phone with Social Security Administration who (finally) advised that the direct deposit was sent to banks on August 26, 2014 for deposit on August 29, 2014.  

When I contacted Woodforest and spoke with customer representative "Tracy" she advised that the deposit (already in their system) was not scheduled to be deposited until September 2, 2014.

The SSA representative advised that a banking service called "Netspend" credits the SSI deposits as soon as they are received.  I contacted Netspend who advised they credited the Sept 2014 deposits on August 26, 2014 to account holders.  Obviously, Netspend is going to be getting future SSI direct deposits for my daughter - and Woodforest can work its miserly tactics on people not bright enough to figure it out.

Wood forest policy is to make the direct deposit available the day BEFORE it's scheduled for deposit. My Friday pay is available on Thursday. My wife's deposit is vailable the day before also. The bank can NOT "hold" any direct deposit.

What date was the deposit scheduled for from SSA? If it was the 29th, the money should have been available the 28th. If the bank is saying it'll be there the 2nd it sounds like it was scheduled for the 3rd. What date of the month has she received her previous deposits?
