Summary
July 15 marks Social Security’s third-Wednesday payout for beneficiaries born between the 11th and 20th of any month, with the SSA continuing its standard July 2026 payment cycle.
The birth-date schedule sets July 8 for people born on the 1st-10th, July 15 for the 11th-20th, and July 22 for the 21st-31st; claims paid on someone else’s record use that worker’s birthday.
July 2 payments already went to beneficiaries who started receiving Social Security before May 1997 and to people who also get SSI, while July’s SSI was sent a day earlier.
Average monthly benefits currently stand at $2,029.92 for retirees, $1,496.16 for disability recipients, and $1,631.39 for survivor beneficiaries.
