Social Security August payment schedule: Here’s when recipients get their checks

SSI recipients will be paid on July 31, while other beneficiaries receive August checks on staggered Wednesdays, the Social Security Administration said.

  • Supplemental Security Income recipients will receive their August payment on Friday, July 31, because August 1 falls on a Saturday this year.
  • The Social Security Administration schedules regular August payments for retirement, disability, and survivor beneficiaries on the 12th, 19th, and 26th, while those who began receiving benefits before May 1997 receive payments on August 3.
  • Recipients who do not receive an expected electronic payment should contact their financial institution first, as the Social Security Administration notes it "may be experiencing a delay in posting your payment."
  • After waiting three additional days, contact the Social Security Administration to report missing payments; the agency states, "We will review the case and if the payment is due, we will replace it."
  • The Senior Citizens League's July 14 update predicts a 3.8% COLA for 2027, based on the Consumer Price Index and Federal Reserve interest rates affecting Social Security beneficiaries.
