Thank you for joining us for your Social Security update.
Today we are focusing on the important July payment dates and how your birthday determines exactly when your money arrives.

For July Social Security payments, the most important detail is the exact date your benefit will arrive, which depends on both your beneficiary category and your birthday.
If you started receiving Social Security or Supplemental Security income before May 1997, or if you are enrolled in SSI, your payment is scheduled for July 3rd.
All other retirement and disability beneficiaries will receive their payments based on the day of the month they were born.
Those with birthdays from the 1st to the 10th will be paid on July 9th, from the 11th to the 20th on July 16th, and from the 21st to the end of the month on July 23rd.
The average retirement benefit currently ranges from about $1,800 to $2,400 per month.
While some who delayed retirement or had higher lifetime earnings can receive as much as $4,873 monthly if they claim at age 70.
Disability recipients and SSI beneficiaries may see different amounts with SSI payments usually arriving at the start of the month and averaging around $943 for individuals.
Most payments are sent by direct deposit, which is the fastest and most secure method, though paper checks are still available for those who prefer them.
To confirm your exact payment date and amount, you can log in to your personal My Social Security account at ssa.gov, where you will also find tools to update your banking information and review your payment history, making it easier to track your benefits and avoid missed payments as you plan your monthly finances.
With July Social Security payments ranging from about $1,800 to $4,873 depending on your work history and claiming age, knowing your exact payment date is essential for managing your monthly finances.
