July 2025 has arrived, and millions of Social Security beneficiaries in the U.S. are waiting for their monthly payments. However, not everyone will receive their Social Security payments on Wednesday, July 9, 2025. The Social Security Administration (SSA) follows a staggered payment system, meaning that payments are spread out over the month, based on the type of benefit and the beneficiary’s birth date.
