First round of Social Security payments goes out in two days

The first round of July’s Social Security payments, worth up to $5,108 for the highest-income earners who retire at age 70, will go out to recipients in just two days.

When does the check arrive?

Social Security payments typically begin on the second Wednesday of every month, and the following waves go out in the subsequent weeks. The distribution of payments is dependent on which day of the month a retiree was born.
