SSI Recipients Will See a Second Benefit Payment on July 31 — Here Is Why

via Newsweek

Supplemental Security Income recipients received one deposit on July 1 and will receive a second on July 31. The second payment is August's benefit sent early because August 1 falls on a Saturday.

Why it matters

The July 31 deposit is not bonus money — it covers August expenses, so spending it before the month turns over could leave you short when bills are due.
