Will I Receive My Payments For Both July And August In August?

I retired on May 1,2021. I received May and June social security payment on July 2,2021. Will I receive both July and August, in August ?. Then once a month after that?

Hi. No. Social Security benefits are paid a month behind, so the payment you receive in August will be your benefit payment for July. Your benefit payment for August won't be paid until September, and so on.

Best, Jerry
