Regular payments will continue on their standard schedule throughout July 2025. However, recipients who received overpayment notices beginning April 25, 2025, may see their payments reduced starting approximately July 24, 2025. The SSA provides a 90-day notice period between issuing overpayment notifications and beginning benefit withholding.

Lawmakers don't want to see those cuts happen, so they've been talking through different solutions to prevent them. And one such solution is to raise Social Security's full retirement age. Currently, that age is 67 for anyone born in 1960 or later. Some lawmakers feel that pushing that age to 69 could help prevent broad Social Security cuts.

Regular Social Security retirement benefits for the month of July will be sent out on the SSA’s usual schedule: Wednesday, July 9: Birth dates between the first and 10th of the month. Wednesday, July 16: Birth dates between the 11th and 20th of the month. Wednesday, July 23: Birth dates between the 21st and 31st of the month.
