Summary

  • July 22 marks the Social Security Administration’s final regularly scheduled July payment, covering retirees, SSDI recipients and survivor beneficiaries born from the 21st through the 31st.
  • The agency staggers monthly payments by birth date, after earlier July distributions went out on July 8 for birthdays 1-10 and July 15 for birthdays 11-20.
  • SSI recipients already received July benefits on July 1, and their August payment will be sent early on July 31 because Aug. 1 falls on a Saturday.
  • Recipients who do not get an expected payment should wait three mailing days before contacting SSA; the next regular Social Security payment dates are Aug. 12, Aug. 19 and Aug. 26.
