Some Social Security Recipients to Receive Two Payments in July

Wednesday, July 8, 2026 · 1 sources

A calendar quirk is causing some Social Security recipients to receive two payments in July. The second payment will be made on July 31.

Some Social Security recipients will receive two payments in July due to a calendar quirk. This anomaly occurs because August 1 falls on a Saturday. As a result, the payment that would normally be made on August 1 will instead be made on July 31.

This means that recipients of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) will get an extra payment at the end of July. The earlier payment will be made on the usual date, and then the second payment will follow on July 31.
