In the U.S., certain recipients of Social Security benefits are due to get their latest monthly money next week, as the Social Security Administration (SSA) continues its three-Wednesdays payment cycle for July 2026<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Who gets Social Security on Wednesday, July 15?<\/p>\n

July 15 is this month\u2019s third Wednesday, so Social Security benefits are to be sent out to recipients born between the 11th and 20th of any month. <\/p>\n

The complete three-Wednesdays schedule for July 2026 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 benefits based on someone else\u2019s work record, the SSA uses the other person\u2019s date of birth.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
