Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
For those who began receiving social security before 1997 or those who receive both social security and SSI benefits, the typical date to receive these payments would have been August 3. However, due to it falling on a weekend, these payments will now be rolled out on August 1 itself.
Since September 1 is Labor Day, payments for that month will be rolled on August 29. This change is important to keep track of so that beneficiaries don't get confused and are able to plan their expenses accordingly, as reported by EPR News.

Regular Payments for August
For those beneficiaries who solely receive social security benefits, payments are rolled out depending on their birthdate. This process is undertaken over the last three Wednesdays of the month.
• For those born from the 1st to 10 of any month, payments are given on the second Wednesday, i.e., August 14
• For those born from the 11th to 20th of any month, payments are given on the third Wednesday, i.e., August 21
• For those born from the 21st to the 31st of any month, payments are given on the fourth Wednesday, i.e., August 28
Direct deposits are usually transferred faster than paper checks since their mailing period consumes time. Beneficiaries must update their calendars and make sure their details are updated to receive payments on time.
The SSA usually requests that people allow three days, following which they can reach out for assistance in case their payment hasn't arrived.

Should We Switch Off Our Economy: Indian Envoy Defends Oil Ties With Russia, Questions Western ‘Convenience' Deals
New Delhi: Indian High Commissioner to the UK, Vikram Doraiswami, has pushed back against Western criticism of India's continued oil imports from Russia, saying it is unrealistic to expect the country to shut down its economy simply. In an interview with Times Radio, the Indian envoy highlighted the inconsistencies in the West's stance, noting that many European countries continue to buy rare earths and other energy products from the same suppliers they now expect India to avoid. 'Don't you think that seems a little odd?' Doraiswami remarked. India, the world's third-largest oil importer, traditionally relied on the Middle East for its energy needs. However, after facing steep discounts from Russia, which began redirecting exports following Western sanctions over its invasion of Ukraine in 2022, India shifted a substantial portion of its imports to Moscow. Addressing questions about India's ties with Russia and President Vladimir Putin, Doraiswami said the relationship is built on several long-standing factors, including historical security cooperation. 'There was a time when some of our Western partners refused to sell us weapons but supplied them to our neighbours, who then used them against us,' he said. He further pointed out that India's energy trade with Russia is a result of being priced out of other markets, as global buyers outbid India for energy sources it once relied on. 'We import over 80% of our energy. We're the third-largest consumer in the world. What would you have us do, switch off our economy?' he asked. Doraiswami also questioned the double standards in global diplomacy, highlighting that several nations maintain relationships of convenience with countries that pose challenges to India's own interests. 'Do we ask you to come up with a little test of loyalty?' he said. On the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the envoy reiterated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has consistently advocated for peace. 'He has said repeatedly, including to both President Putin and President Zelensky, that this is not an era of war,' Doraiswami emphasized. 'We want this terrible conflict to end, just as we want other conflicts around the world to end,' he concluded.

After EU deal, Trump eyes China trade agreement as Beijing faces deadline amid US tariff standoff
The United States and the European Union clinched a trade agreement on Sunday (July 27, 2025) that will see EU exports taxed at 15 percent. This deal comes as an effort to resolve a transatlantic tariff standoff that threatened to explode into a full-blown trade war. US President Donald Trump emerged from a high-stakes meeting with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen at his golf resort in Scotland, describing the deal as the "biggest ever." The deal came as the clock ticked down on an August 1 deadline to avoid an across-the-board US levy of 30 percent on European goods. After the European Union, there are high chances that Trump has his eyes on a successful deal with China amid the trade war due to tariffs. Meanwhile, top U.S. and Chinese economic officials are set to resume talks in Stockholm on Monday (July 28, 2025) to try to tackle longstanding economic disputes at the centre of a trade war between the world's top two economies, aiming to extend a truce by three months and keep sharply higher tariffs at bay.

Without an agreement, global supply chains could face renewed turmoil from U.S. duties snapping back to triple-digit levels that would amount to a bilateral trade embargo. The US president, in May 2025, had clarified his intentions behind striking a deal with China when he said that Beijing is in a trade surplus with Washington, and according to him, these are not good signs for America. 'China, as you know, has a tremendous trade surplus with us, and we can't, you know, we just can't have that,' he had said back then, as quoted by The Telegraph. . During a press conference after signing a deal with the UK, Trump in May 2025, had said that a deal with Beijing would be, 'the greatest thing that ever happened to China.' The people will be happier,' he said, according to The Telegraph. 'They'll buy for less. They'll see things that they never saw before … and it'll create great long-term peace,' he added. Trump had further claimed that China 'very much wanted to make a deal'. Live Events In May 2025, Britain and the US concluded a landmark economic agreement. The deal was defined in the General Terms for the Economic Prosperity Deal (EPD). Both countries agreed to begin negotiations on the EPD immediately to develop and formalize the proposals in the General Terms. The government remains relentlessly focused on securing the best outcomes for UK industry and ensuring that businesses up and down the country can feel the benefits of the deal as soon as possible, according to UK government website. US-China Stockholm talks The Stockholm talks come hot on the heels of Trump's biggest trade deal yet with the European Union on Sunday for a 15% tariff on most EU goods exports to the U.S., including autos. The bloc will also buy $750 billion worth of American energy and make $600 billion worth of U.S. investments in the coming years. No similar breakthrough is expected in the U.S.-China talks but trade analysts said that another 90-day extension of a tariff and export control truce struck in mid-May was likely. An extension of that length would prevent further escalation and facilitate planning for a potential meeting between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in late October or early November. A U.S. Treasury spokesperson declined comment on a South China Morning Post report quoting unnamed sources as saying the two sides would refrain from introducing new tariffs or other steps that could escalate the trade war for another 90 days. Trump's administration is poised to impose new sectoral tariffs that will impact China within weeks, including on semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, ship-to-shore cranes and other products. "We're very close to a deal with China. We really sort of made a deal with China, but we'll see how that goes," Trump told reporters on Sunday before European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen struck their tariff deal.

Europe hopes for 'no surprises' as US weighs force withdrawals
After keeping Donald Trump happy with a pledge to up defence spending at NATO's summit, Europe is now bracing for a key decision from the US president on the future of American forces on the continent. Washington is currently conducting a review of its military deployments worldwide -- set to be unveiled in coming months -- and the expectation is it will lead to drawdowns in Europe.

"We've agreed to no surprises and no gaps in the strategic framework of Europe," said Matthew Whitaker, US ambassador to NATO, adding he expected the review to come out in "late summer, early fall". Live Events "I have daily conversations with our allies about the process," he said. While successive US governments have mulled scaling back in Europe to focus more on China, Trump has insisted more forcefully than his predecessors that the continent should handle its own defence. "There's every reason to expect a withdrawal from Europe," said Marta Mucznik from the International Crisis Group. "The question is not whether it's going to happen, but how fast." When Trump returned to office in January many felt he was about to blow a hole in the seven-decade-old alliance. But the vibe in NATO circles is now far more upbeat than those desperate days. "There's a sanguine mood, a lot of guesswork, but the early signals are quite positive," one senior European diplomat told AFP, talking as others on condition of anonymity. "Certainly no panic or doom and gloom." 'Inevitable' The Pentagon says there are nearly 85,000 US military personnel in Europe -- a number that has fluctuated between 75,000 and 105,000 since Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine. "I think it is inevitable that they pull out some of their forces," a second European diplomat told AFP. "But I don't expect this to be like a dramatic overhaul. I think it's going to be gradual. I think it's going to be based on consultations." Trump's first target is likely to be the troops left over from a surge ordered by his predecessor Joe Biden after Moscow's tanks rolled into Ukraine. Officials say relocating the rump of that 20,000-strong deployment would not hurt NATO's deterrence too much -- but alarm bells would ring if Trump looked to cut too deep into personnel numbers or close key bases. The issue is not just troop numbers -- the US has capabilities such as air defences, long-range missiles and satellite surveillance that allies would struggle to replace in the short-term. "The kinds of defence investments by Europe that are being made coming out of The Hague summit may only be felt in real capability terms over many years," said Ian Lesser from the German Marshall Fund think tank. "So the question of timing really does matter." 'Inopportune moment' Washington's desire to pull back from Europe may be tempered by Trump now taking a tougher line with Russia -- and Moscow's reluctance to bow to his demands to end the Ukraine war. "It seems an inopportune moment to send signals of weakness and reductions in the American security presence in Europe," Lesser said. He also pointed to Trump's struggles during his first term to pull troops out of Germany -- the potential bill for relocating them along with political resistance in Washington scuppering the plan. While European diplomats are feeling more confident than before about the troop review, they admit nothing can be certain with the mercurial US president. Other issues such as Washington's trade negotiations with the EU could rock transatlantic ties in the meantime and upend the good vibes. "It seems positive for now," said a third European diplomat. "But what if we are all wrong and a force decrease will start in 2026. To be honest, there isn't much to go on at this stage."
