Good news for Social Security recipients! Many people who get Social Security benefits will soon receive new payments of $1,681 this July. The money is being sent through direct deposit, making the process fast and easy. Let’s understand who qualifies, when the payments arrive, and how this affects millions of Americans.
What Are These $1,681 Social Security Payments?
The Social Security Administration (SSA) has confirmed that certain beneficiaries will receive $1,681 payments in July 2025. These payments are part of regular monthly benefits sent to people who qualify, such as retirees, disabled individuals, and survivors.
This payment amount is based on average Social Security benefits and varies depending on individual cases, work history, and contributions.
Who Will Receive the Payment in July?
Not everyone gets their Social Security payment on the same day. The payment schedule depends on the birthdate of the recipient. Here’s how it works:
- People born between the 1st and 10th of the month: Payment arrives on the second Wednesday of July.
- People born between the 11th and 20th: Payment arrives on the third Wednesday of July.
- People born between the 21st and 31st: Payment arrives on the fourth Wednesday of July.
These payments go directly into the bank accounts of eligible individuals through direct deposit.
What If You Get SSI (Supplemental Security Income)?
It’s important to know that Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is different from Social Security retirement or disability payments. Those who receive SSI usually get their payments on the 1st of each month. In July, SSI payments were sent earlier if the 1st fell on a weekend or holiday.
