August 2026 SSA Payment Schedule Announced With Early SSI Date

Millions of Americans receiving retirement, disability, and survivor benefits are preparing for the August 2026 Social Security payments. Due to a calendar change, Supplemental Security Income recipients will receive their checks on Friday, July 31, instead of August 1.

This early payment adjustment is necessary because the standard date falls on a weekend. Regular retirement and disability payments will proceed on their scheduled dates.
