SSA Moves July 2 Social Security Payments Up 1 Day for 2 Recipient Groups

3 articles · Updated · AS USA · Jun 27

Summary

  • July 2 payments will go to Social Security recipients who enrolled before May 1997 and to people who receive both Social Security and SSI.
  • The 1-day shift comes because those groups normally are paid on the 3rd of each month, but July 3 is a federal holiday tied to Independence Day observances.
  • July SSI benefits are scheduled for July 1, with average monthly SSI payments at $738.13.
  • 71.2 million Social Security beneficiaries overall remain on the regular July schedule, with other recipients set to be paid July 8, July 15 or July 22 based on birth date.
  • Average monthly Social Security benefits stand at $2,038 for retirees, $1,493.25 for disabled workers and $1,626.59 for survivors.
