Millions of Americans to Receive Social Security Payments in July

Millions of Americans are set to receive their next Social Security payments in July, with the first round of checks scheduled to go out on July 2. The timing matters because the usual payment date for some beneficiaries falls just before the Independence Day holiday weekend, prompting an earlier distribution.

Recipients who started receiving benefits before May 1997 are due to be paid on that date, along with many who receive both Social Security and Supplemental Security Income.
