If you were born between the 1st and 10th of the month, you will not receive your Social Security check this week. However, there’s no need to worry—the payment schedule is on track, and many other beneficiaries will receive their payments on Wednesday, July 16, 2025.
Each month, the Social Security Administration (SSA) distributes checks based on a specific schedule, which is tied to the beneficiary’s date of birth. This schedule applies to retirees, disability payments (SSDI), SSI recipients, and spouse or dependent beneficiaries.
Who Will Receive Their Social Security Payment on July 16, 2025?
If you were born between the 11th and 20th of the month, Wednesday, July 16, 2025 is your payment date. According to the SSA’s official schedule for 2025, payments will be sent out to those born between the 11th and 20th of any month.
Who Else Can Receive Social Security Payments?
Retirees who meet the age requirement for Social Security benefits.
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) recipients.
Spouses or dependent beneficiaries.
People receiving widowhood benefits.
However, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is generally distributed on the 1st of each month and does not follow the same pattern as regular Social Security payments.
How to Know If You’re Entitled to a Social Security Payment This Week
Here’s how you can confirm whether your Social Security payment will arrive on July 16, 2025:
Check Your Date of Birth:
If you were born between the 11th and 20th, July 16 is your payment date.
Check Your My Social Security Account:
Log in to your My Social Security account to see your past and upcoming payments. This is a quick way to confirm your payment date.

What to Do If Your Social Security Payment Does Not Arrive
If your payment doesn’t arrive on July 16, follow these steps:
Wait at least three business days:
Sometimes, payments can be delayed by a day or two. The SSA recommends waiting until the following Monday to give your bank time to process the deposit.

When is the Next Social Security Payment?
