When is SSI paid in July 2026?
Your July SSI payment arrives on Wednesday, July 1, 2026. You also get your August 2026 SSI early, on Friday, July 31, 2026, because August 1, 2026 is a weekend day. That is next month's money, so there will be no SSI payment on August 1, 2026.
Why you get two SSI payments in July
The second deposit is your August payment arriving early. It is not extra money, and you will not get another SSI payment until September 1, 2026.
