$967 and $1,450 July Social Security Payments to Arrive in 19 Days

The Social Security Administration (SSA) has confirmed the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment schedule for the rest of 2025.

The standard payment amounts stay the same—$943 for individuals and $1,415 for couples. Some people may receive more if they qualify for state supplemental payments.

SSI Payment Dates: July to December 2025

SSI is usually paid on the first business day of each month. If the 1st is a weekend, the SSA sends payments on the preceding Friday to avoid delays. This system has been in place since 1974, ensuring payments always arrive on time.

Here’s the schedule:

• July 1, 2025 (Tuesday)
• August 1, 2025 (Friday)
• September 1, 2025 (Monday)
• October 1, 2025 (Wednesday) Advance November payment sent on October 31 (Friday), since November 1 is a Saturday
• December 1, 2025 (Monday)

Note: There will be no separate November payment, as it will be included with the early October 31 deposit. This is just a timing change, not an extra payment.

SSI Payment Amounts

• Maximum for individuals: $967
• Maximum for couples: $1,450

These are the highest possible amounts. Actual payments may be lower depending on other income or benefits like retirement or disability payments.

How SSI Is Paid

Since 2013, the SSA has required all new beneficiaries to receive payments through:

• Direct deposit
• Direct Express debit card

This eliminates paper checks and helps avoid delays or fraud. The SSA handles over 70 million payments monthly, and 99% now go through electronic methods for faster delivery.

Different Schedule for Social Security Retirement & Disability

If you receive Social Security retirement or disability benefits, your payment dates will be different from SSI. For July 2025, payments will be sent on:

• July 3 (for those who started benefits before May 1997)
• July 9 (if your birth date is between the 1st–10th)
• July 16 (for birth dates from the 11th–20th)
• July 23 (for birth dates from the 21st–31st)

Your payment date depends on your birthday and the date you began receiving benefits.

What to Do If Payment Is Late

Electronic payments may take up to three business days to show up in your account.

If your payment is missing:

1. Check your “My Social Security” account
2. Call the SSA at 1-800-772-1213

The SSA reassures recipients that all payments for July–December 2025 will follow the published schedule. With the wide use of direct deposit, the system is faster, safer, and more reliable.

To stay up to date, make sure your account info is correct and watch for schedule updates, especially in months with early deposits like October.
