Two Social Security payments on the first week of July: who will receive it?
On the first week of July, the Social Security Administration will send two payments. Some beneficiaries will receive both. Find out if you’re one of them.
The Social Security Administration is preparing to begin sending payments for the month of July, and on the first week of the month two checks will be sent.
Just as it does every month, the agency will send out benefits to retired workers, survivors, and recipients of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
The SSA will send two payments on the first week of July and the rest of the checks on the second, third and fourth Wednesday of the month.

This is how July Social Security payments will be sent
As indicated by the agency’s regular payment schedule, Supplemental Security Income payments will be sent on the first day of the month, so in July they will be sent on Monday, July 1.
On Wednesday, July 3, payments will be sent to those who began receiving their retirement payments before May 1997. If these beneficiaries also receive the SSI payment, they will receive both payments within the first week of next month.
Other Social Security beneficiaries, whether they receive retired workers or survivors payments, and are also beneficiaries of Supplemental Security Income, will receive their SSI payment on Monday, July 1 and their other payment on the designated Wednesday depending on their day of birth.

Payments are sent via direct deposit to beneficiaries who have shared their bank account details with the Social Security Administration, or via postal mail in a paper check, which takes longer to arrive. If you do not receive your payment on the indicated date, the SSA recommends that you wait three more days before contacting the agency, to allow for postal delays.
