Millions of Social Security beneficiaries will receive their August 2026 payments according to the schedule set by the Social Security Administration (SSA). However, SSI recipients will see a change this month because their payment will arrive earlier than usual.

The August SSI payment will be sent on Friday, July 31, 2026, because August 1 falls on a Saturday. The early payment does not mean beneficiaries will receive an additional check.
