Social Security Payment July: When will my Social Security check for July arrive?
Here is the July schedule for when you should receive your SSDI or Social Security check.
- July 3: Social Security payments for people who’ve received Social Security since before May 1997.
- July 10: Social Security payments for people with birthdays falling between the first and 10th of any given month.
- July 17: Social Security payments for people with birthdays falling between the 11th and 20th of any given month.
- July 24: Social Security payments for people with birthdays falling between the 21st and 31st of any given month.
How does the organization determine the time of my Social Security payment?
The Social Security Administration typically sends out payments on the second, third, and fourth Wednesdays of each month. Your birthday determines which day you get your check.
- Your payment will be sent on the second Wednesday of the month if your birthday falls between the first and the tenth of the month.
- Your payment will be sent on the third Wednesday of the month if your birthday falls between the eleventh and the twentieth of the month.
- Your payment will be sent on the fourth Wednesday of the month if your birthday falls between the 21st and the 31st of the current month.
SSI beneficiaries typically receive their payments on the first of the month, though there are a few exceptions that we’ll go over below.

Will my SSI and Social Security benefits arrive on the same day?
The payment schedule differs if you were on Social Security before May 1997, or if you were on SSI in addition to Social Security. Your Social Security payment will arrive on the third day of each month, and your SSI payment will arrive on the first day of each month, rather than on a Wednesday.
If the first or third day of the month comes on a weekend or holiday, those payment dates are adjusted. For example, because March 3 happened on a Saturday, Social Security beneficiaries got their March checks on March 1, two days early.
What happens if my Social Security check never arrives?
If your check arrives after the specified date or does not come at all, the Social Security Administration recommends delaying communication for an extra three mailing days. Following that, call 800-772-1213 to talk with a representative. (The SSA reports that wait times are shorter on weekdays between 4 and 7 p.m. and from Wednesday through Friday.)
