The Social Security Administration sends regular monthly payments (SSA benefits), and the date varies depending on your birth date. SSA beneficiaries can expect a payment on Aug. 13, Aug. 20 or Aug. 27. SSI recipients will receive two payments this month, on Aug. 1 and Aug. 29, because Labor Day falls on Sept. 1, 2025.

Social Security payments for the month of August follow a normal schedule. But those who were previously overpaid by the Social Security Administration may get smaller benefit checks. That's because the agency was expected to begin withholding 50% of benefits for those who have been overpaid but have yet to begin repayments.
