Frequently asked questions

How many Social Security payments are there in July 2027?

The SSA issues payments on 5 dates in July 2027: Thursday, July 1, 2027; Friday, July 2, 2027; Wednesday, July 14, 2027; Wednesday, July 21, 2027; Wednesday, July 28, 2027. Each date covers a different payment group, so each beneficiary receives one monthly payment.

When is SSI paid in July 2027?

SSI for July 2027 is paid on Thursday, July 1, 2027. Note that August's SSI payment is also issued inside July, on Friday, July 30, 2027, because the 1st of August falls on a weekend or holiday — so your statement will show two SSI deposits this month.

Which July 2027 payment date is mine?

For retirement, survivors, and disability (SSDI) benefits started May 1997 or later, it depends on your birthday: born 1st–10th → 2nd Wednesday; born 11th–20th → 3rd Wednesday; born 21st–31st → 4th Wednesday. SSI is paid on the 1st, and beneficiaries who started before May 1997 (or get both SS and SSI) are paid on the 3rd.

What happens if a July payment date falls on a weekend or holiday?

The SSA issues the payment on the closest preceding business day, so it arrives early — never late. The dates shown on this page already include those adjustments.
