Who Will Receive $1,907 in Social Security Payments This Week on August 6?

Millions of retirees, survivors, and SSDI beneficiaries are scheduled to receive their next Social Security payment on Wednesday, August 6, 2025.

If you’re unsure whether you’re part of this week’s payout group or what your benefit amount will be, this guide provides everything you need to know.

Who Will Receive Social Security Payments on August 6, 2025?

The August 6 payment is specifically intended for individuals who meet two key conditions:

• You started receiving benefits after May 1997
• Your birthday falls between the 1st and 10th of any month

If your birth date is later in the month or you’ve been receiving benefits since before May 1997, your Social Security deposit may either have already arrived or is scheduled for a later date this month.

How Much Will You Receive on August 6?

The average retirement benefit for 2025 stands at $1,907, according to the latest data from the Social Security Administration (SSA). However, your personal payment could differ depending on:

• Your lifetime earnings
• The age at which you began claiming benefits
• Your work history

Here is a detailed breakdown of average monthly benefits across different recipient categories in 2025:

Beneficiary Category	Average Monthly Benefit (2025)
Retired Workers	$1,907
Disabled Workers (SSDI)	$1,537
Spouses of Retirees	$911
Survivors (Widowed Spouse)	$1,774
SSI Recipients	$698 (Separate payment date)

When Will Your Deposit Be Available?

If you receive your Social Security benefits via direct deposit, funds usually appear in your account by 9 a.m. local time on your payment date. That said, exact timing depends on your bank or credit union’s processing schedule.

Those still receiving paper checks—a small minority—may experience delays due to postal delivery times, and their checks may arrive later in the week.

Upcoming August 2025 Social Security Payment Dates

If you’re not part of the August 6 wave, here are the next scheduled payment dates:

Payment Date	Birthday Range
August 13, 2025	Born between the 11th and 20th
August 20, 2025	Born between the 21st and 31st

Note: SSI recipients received their August payment on August 1, 2025, and no second payment is scheduled this month.

What to Do If You Don’t Get Your Payment

If your payment hasn’t arrived by the expected date, the SSA advises waiting three business days before taking action. After that, you can:

• Call 1-800-772-1213
• Log into your My Social Security account to track your benefit status

With over 71 million Americans depending on Social Security, staying on top of your payment schedule is key to managing your monthly budget.

Whether you’re a retiree, surviving spouse, or SSDI recipient, knowing when and how much you’ll be paid helps ensure peace of mind. Keep checking your eligibility and be prepared for future payments.
