SSA sends a message to thousands of Americans: you'll receive it in your account

Social Security in the United States guarantees monthly payments to millions of people, allowing them to cover essential needs. This system, administered by the SSA (Social Security Administration), is vital for retirees, people with disabilities, and recipients of additional assistance.

Each month, payments follow a schedule based on the date of birth. This way, the administration reduces errors and ensures that everyone receives their money on time, guaranteeing peace of mind for many.

July SSA Payment: How Is the Money Distributed?

According to the SSA, the first checks for July were issued this past Wednesday, July 9, intended for those born between the 1st and 10th of each month. The next SSA payments are scheduled for July 16, with recipients being those born from the 11th to the 20th of the month. Finally, on July 23, Americans born from the 21st to the 31st will receive payment.

Those who have received benefits since before May 1997 have a fixed date each month, the 3rd, regardless of their birthday. In the case of SSI recipients, they receive payment on the 1st of each month. If they receive both SSI and retirement, this order applies: SSI on the 1st, general payment on the 3rd.

Payments, meanwhile, depend on the type of benefit. The current average retirement payment is $2,002.39, with the maximum amount reaching $5,108. These payments are essential for millions of people in the United States, covering medical expenses, housing, and other commitments.

How to Verify SSA Payments

The payment is processed automatically, entering your bank account if you are enrolled in direct deposit. Those who receive physical checks must wait additional time, but this method is being gradually phased out.

The best way is to log in to your personal account on My Social Security from the official ssa.gov website. You can also contact your bank or call the SSA line. Meanwhile, it is important to note that keeping your information updated is key to avoiding delays or deposit issues.

Thanks to this system, millions of Americans can face monthly expenses without falling below the poverty line. In addition, the staggered schedule helps reduce administrative overload and ensure timely deliveries.
