Below, you’ll find everything you need to know about the Social Security benefits distribution, SSI schedule, and eligibility requirements.
Social Security Payment Dates for July 2025
For most recipients, Social Security payments are issued every Wednesday of the month. The Social Security Administration (SSA) publishes the yearly distribution schedule for 2025 and 2026 online, helping beneficiaries plan their budgets effectively. Here’s the breakdown for July 2025:
- Thursday, July 3: Payments for individuals who started receiving Social Security before May 1997.

- Wednesday, July 25: Payments for those with birthdates between the 21st and 31st.
Understanding Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a federal program that provides monthly benefits to individuals with limited income or resources, specifically for those who are 65 or older, blind, or have a qualifying disability.
Children with qualifying disabilities may also receive SSI. For adults, SSI eligibility is generally determined by having a monthly income of no more than $2,019.
To apply for SSI, individuals can visit the Social Security office, apply online, or contact the SSA by calling 1-800-772-1213 (TTY: 1-800-325-0778) during regular hours, which are 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time on weekdays.
SSI Payment Dates for 2025
The SSI payments for the remainder of 2025 will be distributed on the following dates:
- Tuesday, July 1, 2025: Payment for July.
- Friday, August 1, 2025: Payment for August.

When Can You Start Receiving Social Security?
Individuals are eligible to begin receiving reduced Social Security benefits as early as age 62. However, waiting until full retirement age results in a higher monthly benefit. The full retirement age has gradually increased and varies depending on the year of birth:
- For individuals born 1958, the full retirement age is 66 years and 8 months.
- For individuals born 1959, the full retirement age is 66 years and 10 months.
- For those born 1960 and later, the full retirement age is 67.
In July 2025, millions of Georgians will receive their Social Security and SSI benefits on time, based on the schedules outlined.
Ensure you’re aware of the key payment dates to plan your finances accordingly. If you haven’t received your payment as expected, remember to wait three extra days before reaching out to the SSA.
