SSI payment schedule August: When will you receive your social security checks?

Given the complexities of this month's calendar, there are a few changes and updates in terms of payment dates that those dependent on such grants must keep themselves aware of. Since August 3 falls on a Sunday and Labor Day falls on September 1, beneficiaries will be receiving two payments in August and possibly none the month after.

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.
