Hello Hustlers,
If you’re eagerly anticipating your Social Security payments in July, you’re not alone. The Social Security Administration (SSA) has a specific schedule for disbursing benefits, and in the first week of July, many beneficiaries will receive not one but two payments. Let’s dive into the details so you can stay informed and plan accordingly.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Two Payments in July: Beneficiaries will receive two payments in the first week of July due to the schedule for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security benefits.
- Payment Dates: SSI payments are made on the 1st of the month, and if this falls on a weekend or holiday, the payment is made on the preceding business day.
- Additional Payments: The second payment for many retirees and other beneficiaries will be made based on their birth date, which could be on the second, third, or fourth Wednesday of the month.
Understanding the Social Security Payment Schedule
The SSA distributes Social Security benefits based on your birth date. Here’s a breakdown:
- Birthdays from the 1st to the 10th: Payments are made on the second Wednesday of each month.
- Birthdays from the 11th to the 20th: Payments are made on the third Wednesday.
- Birthdays from the 21st to the 31st: Payments are made on the fourth Wednesday.
However, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits follow a different schedule. SSI payments are made on the 1st of each month. If the 1st falls on a weekend or holiday, the payment is issued on the previous business day.
Why Two Security Payments in the First Week?
For July 2024, the first SSI payment will be made on July 1st. If you also receive regular Social Security benefits, your payment will follow based on the schedule mentioned above. For many, this could result in receiving two payments in the first week, especially if your birthday falls early in the month.
