Banks that handle the Social Security debit card you are changing
The Treasury Department is changing the banks that handle recipients’ debit cards, with Bank 3 replacing Comerica Bank instead of Bank 5.
This month’s additional securities income test is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, July 1, ahead of Independence Day.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments are typically scheduled to be issued on the first day of the month, but payments may be issued earlier if the first calendar day of the month is a weekend or holiday. According to the Social Security Administration’s calendar, the first day of July falls on a Wednesday, meaning payments will be made on the regular schedule.
This is the fourth consecutive month that SSI checks are scheduled to occur on the first of the month. However, that trend will change over the next few weeks, and since August 1st falls on a Saturday, August checks will actually be deposited on July 31st.

What is Supplemental Security Income (SSI)?
The Supplemental Security Income program, administered by the Social Security Administration, provides benefits to people with limited or no income or assets, people age 65 or older, and people who are blind or have a qualifying disability. Children with qualifying disabilities are also eligible to receive SSI.
About 7.4 million Americans currently receive monthly SSI payments, and about one-third of SSI recipients also receive Social Security benefits, the agency said. Generally, working adults with a monthly income of more than $2,073 are not eligible for SSI benefits.
To see if you qualify for SSI, visit the Social Security website. You can also visit your local Social Security office in person or call 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. local time on weekdays.
