  • July Social Security Shift Brings $5.7B SSI Advance for Retailers
    June 29, 2026, 3:35 PM EDT. Six Social Security and SSI payments are set for July 2026, up one from June, because an early August SSI check lands on July 31. That pushes $5.7 billion in SSI spending forward for the month, giving a lift to retailers like Dollar General, Dollar Tree and Walmart. Social Security Administration data shows 7.323 million SSI recipients in May, with average payments at $738. Retailers point to bigger crowds and higher sales in July as customers get money earlier. Some retailers warn sales could slow in early August with no SSI check that month. The schedule shift is moving when shoppers spend, especially in grocery and discount channels.
