    Typically when a stock goes Ex-dividend, it means that you must be on record that day as the owner of the stock. Therefore, GE goes ex-dividend on the first of August, for example, the actual payment will be 3-4 weeks from the ex-D date.


    Two dates you need to know: Ex D date or date that shows you're the owner of record; and


    the actual payment date: usually a few weeks from the first date.
