If your birthday falls between the 1st and 10th of the month, you will not receive your Social Security payment this week. But don’t worry—this is part of the regular payment schedule, and many other beneficiaries will receive their checks on Wednesday, July 16, 2025.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) distributes payments each month to millions of beneficiaries, including retirees, people receiving disability benefits (SSI/SSDI), and those who get Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Payments are made in a specific order based on the beneficiary’s birth date.
When Do You Receive Your Social Security Payment?
For those born between the 1st and 10th: Your payment was already delivered on Wednesday, July 10, 2025, which is why you may not see a deposit this week.
For those born between the 11th and 20th: The next round of payments will go out on Wednesday, July 16, 2025. If your birthday falls within this range, keep an eye out for your deposit.
Who Receives Their Social Security Check on July 16, 2025?
If your birthday is between the 11th and 20th of the month, you will receive your Social Security check on July 16, 2025. This includes:
Retirees who are receiving monthly Social Security payments.
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) recipients.
Spouses and dependent beneficiaries.
Widow/widower benefit recipients.
Note: If you also receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI), those payments are typically made on the first day of each month, and don’t follow the same schedule as other Social Security payments.
How to Know if You Are Entitled to Payment This Week
Check Your Date of Birth: If your birthday falls between the 11th and 20th, July 16 is your payment date.
Check Your My Social Security Account: Log in to your online account to see past and upcoming deposits.
Review Your Bank Statement: Payments are typically processed on the same day, though there may be slight delays.
What to Do If Your Payment Does Not Arrive
If you don’t see your payment after the scheduled date, here’s what to do:
Wait for Three Business Days: The SSA recommends waiting until the next Monday to report any issues.
Call Your Bank: Sometimes delays happen due to internal bank issues. Verify that your bank has processed the deposit.
Contact the SSA: If your bank confirms no deposit, call the SSA at 1-800-772-1213 for assistance.
What’s Next for Social Security Payments?
After July 16, the next round of payments will be on Wednesday, July 23, for those born between the 21st and 31st of the month. This will be the final group to receive payments in this cycle, according to the SSA’s distribution schedule.
