The Tuesday, July 1 payment will go to recipients of Supplemental Security Income (SSI)—a program designed to support individuals with limited income or resources, including those who are 65 or older or have a disability.
By rule, SSI payments are always issued on the 1st of the month, unless the date falls on a weekend or holiday.
Who Is Eligible for SSI?
SSI serves over 7.4 million people nationwide. Unlike retirement or disability benefits (SSDI), SSI does not require prior payment of Social Security taxes. It’s a needs-based program funded by general tax revenues.
You may qualify for SSI if you:
-
Are age 65 or older
-
Have a qualifying disability
-
Meet strict income and asset limits
How Much Do SSI Beneficiaries Receive?
According to the SSA’s latest figures:
-
The average monthly SSI payment is $718.30
-
The maximum monthly benefit is:
-
$967 for individuals
-
$1,450 for eligible couples
-
In some states, beneficiaries may also receive additional payments—visit the SSA’s website to see if your state offers this.
When Will Other Social Security Checks Go Out in July?
For those receiving retirement, SSDI, or survivor benefits, payment dates depend on birth date unless benefits started before May 1997:

-
July 9: Birth dates from 1st to 10th
