Certain Social Security recipients in the U.S. are due to get their latest monthly benefits next week, as the Social Security Administration (SSA) kicks off July 2026\u2019s<\/a> three-Wednesdays payment cycle.<\/p>\n

Who gets Social Security on Wednesday, July 8?<\/p>\n

Of the U.S.\u2019s 71.2 million Social Security recipients, many are issued their benefits on the second, third or fourth Wednesday<\/a> in each month, depending on their birthday.<\/p>\n

July 8 is this month\u2019s second Wednesday, so Social Security payments are scheduled to be sent out to beneficiaries born between the first and 10th of any month. <\/p>\n

July 2026\u2019s full three-Wednesdays schedule is:Born on 1st-10th of any month: Wednesday, July 8Born on 11th-20th of any month: Wednesday, July 15Born on 21st-31st of any month: Wednesday, July 22<\/p>\n

NB: If you receive Social Security based on someone else\u2019s work record, the SSA uses the other person\u2019s birthday.<\/p>\n

What other Social Security payment dates are there in July 2026?July 2: Social Security paid to some long-term recipients<\/p>\n

Beneficiaries who signed up for Social Security before May 1997 were paid their July money on Thursday 2<\/a>, no matter their date of birth.<\/p>\n

July 2: Social Security paid to recipients also on SSI<\/p>\n

Thursday was also this month\u2019s Social Security distribution date for recipients who combine the scheme with Supplemental Security Income<\/a> (SSI), a benefit for certain low-income individuals. SSI payments, meanwhile, were due to go out on Wednesday, July 1<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Social Security is typically issued to the above long-term and dual beneficiaries on the third of the month, but payment was brought forward because July 3 is a federal holiday.<\/p>\n
