July 17 is payday for many retirees in the United States. However, the Social Security Administration has announced one more payment date for this month, so some retirees will have to wait longer than others for their money.
Apart from July 17, there will be another payday on July 24. This will be the last chance to receive money from the Social Security Administration in July 2024. The August payments have already been scheduled, so get your monthly budget ready because August is just around the corner.
Who can receive $1,918 from Social Security on July 17?
