The Social Security Administration (SSA) has already delivered half of the payments intended for retirees and people with disabilities. The dates and arrangements on the July calendar have helped many people to have their money available in less than half of the month. Who is missing? The beneficiaries who are yet to receive their corresponding $1,900 dollars are those who were born on specific dates.

The Social Security program is one of the largest in the United States because of the number of people who receive it. That is why the government, through the SSA, chose to distribute deposits based on the characteristics of their beneficiaries so that the system does not collapseThis has been in the works for several years now and has prevented delays.

Not all retirees and disabled people receive their Social Security on the same dayThe payment schedule is staggered. It is true that for people who qualify for this money, this system can be confusing at first, especially when they are used to receiving a regular salary at the beginning of the month. As the months go by, they will understand how it works and how often they will receive their money.

The SSA determined that payments for Social Security retirees and disabled people who receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), and who claimed their benefits on or after May 1, 1997, are distributed based on their date of birth. In this way, the Administration sends Social Security payments:

  • The second Wednesday of the month, People born between the 1st and 10th.
  • The third Wednesday of the month, People born between the 11th and 20th.
  • The fourth Wednesday of the month, People born between the 21st and 31st.

This calendar may be adjusted when it falls on a holiday, which is why payment is made in advance on the previous business day, as happened on June 19, for those who were paid on Tuesday, June 18.

In this sense, the people who have not yet received their July payment are those born between the 11th and 31st, in which The first group (from 11 to 20) will receive it on July 17 and those in the second group (from 21 to 31) will have their money until July 24..

It should also be remembered that just as not all beneficiaries receive their Social Security payments, they do not receive the same amount either. Some believe that it is a one-size-fits-all pension. This is not the case. The average Social Security payment is around $1,916 dollarsso there are those who receive more or less, depending on the case.
