The Social Security Administration (SSA) is about to send out new checks to eligible beneficiaries before the end of July. Here’s a simple guide to help you understand when and how you’ll receive these payments.
Payment Dates for July
The SSA will send out two new checks to different groups of beneficiaries before the end of July. It’s important to know the specific dates and requirements to ensure you get your payment on time.
July 17th and July 24th Payment Dates
If you qualify for Social Security payments, here’s when you can expect your check:
- July 17th Payment: For retirees with birthdays between the 11th and 20th of any month.
- July 24th Payment: For retirees with birthdays between the 21st and 31st of any month.
To receive your payment on these dates, you must have been receiving Social Security retirement benefits since after May 1997. If you do not meet these requirements, your payment will arrive on a different date.
Upcoming Payments in August
After the July payments, the SSA will send out new checks in August. Here’s what you need to know:
- August 1st Payment: This is for retirees who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
- Double SSI Check: Besides the August 1st payment, there will be an additional SSI check on August 30th. This second payment is actually an early payment for September.
