Eligible United States citizens with a Social Security check could get a double payment in the first week of the new month of July. This is only for a specific group of Americans, so we must take a good look at what the exact requirements are to find out if we are eligible or not.
Still, it is true that some citizens may get a first payment from Social Security in the first week of July and then get another payment in the next weeks of the month. It all depends on the group of beneficiaries to which we belong.
What is certain is that if we have the Social Security benefit accepted we will be able to collect during the month, either in the first week or a few days later. In addition, in order to collect the two checks for the first week of July, we must have Supplemental Security Income accepted.
Who gets double Social Security payments in the first week of July?
In order to access these two checks, we must meet two requirements. On the one hand, you must have your Social Security payment accepted. On the other hand, it is also essential to have the Supplemental Security Income. In the case of having both payments accepted, we must also take into account that we must be part of group 1 of retirees.
If we meet these requirements, we will collect the Supplemental Security Income on the 1st of July and the Social Security for retirement on the 3rd of the same month. In this way, we will receive both payments in the same week without any problems. Of course, we must activate Direct Deposit to have the money available as soon as possible.
In the case of having SSI but not being part of group 1 of retirees, our payment could arrive on the 10th, 17th or 24th of July. The check could arrive on any of these days if we have had Social Security payments since after May 1997 and have a birthday at a certain time of the month.
For peace of mind, it should be noted that the retirement payment arrives every month without any problems to all Americans. The only thing to keep in mind is the official retirement payment schedule, which the Social Security Administration announces so that retirees can plan their family’s finances.
