The first round of July’s Social Security payments, worth up to $5,108 for the highest-income earners who retire at age 70, will be distributed in six days. Here is all you need to know about July’s Social Security payments.

Regular Social Security retirement benefits for the month of July will be sent out on the SSA’s usual schedule: Wednesday, July 9: Birth dates between the first and 10th of the month. Wednesday, July 16: Birth dates between the 11th and 20th of the month. Wednesday, July 23: Birth dates between the 21st and 31st of the month.

Those who get Supplemental Security Income (SSI) will receive their July 2025 payment Tuesday, July 1. The Social Security Administration suggests that if you don't receive your payment on the expected date, allow three additional mailing days before contacting the agency; most arrive timely because 99% of beneficiaries are paid electronically.
