According to the payment schedule provided by Social Security, the payment that was supposed to be given on August 3 will instead be distributed on August 1, 2025. The payday that is ordinarily due on August 3 falls on a weekend, which is the reason for this situation. In the event that a payday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, it is required to be rescheduled and paid on the business day before to the weekend. Consequently, people who were receiving retirement benefits before to May 1997 will receive their paycheck on Friday, August 1.
Additionally, because they are also receiving Supplemental Security Income benefits at the same time, certain Social Security recipients are able to claim their retirement benefit on August 1st. From this point forward, they will begin receiving SSI payments as well as retirement benefits on August 1, 2025. In addition, payments are distributed through the SNAP program on August 1st. As a result, an additional benefit might be deposited.
SSI, SNAP, and Social Security are you now receiving benefits?
What happens if you are eligible for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) on August 1 as well, given that the Social Security payment on August 1 is also the same paycheck for those who are receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI)? You would then be eligible to earn all three benefits at the beginning of August.
The following is a complete list of states that, as of August 1st, are part of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which was formerly known as the Food Stamps program.

What are the average payments for SNAP, SSI, and Social Security?
Social Security provides eligible retired workers with an average payment of $2,005 a month. On the other hand, this sum can be higher for families in which the spouse or children that are eligible for benefits are also eligible.
In general, the Supplemental Security Income program has the potential to pay approximately $717. It is important to keep in mind that eligible claimants who are eligible for all three benefits on August 1, 2025 may get a significantly reduced amount.
Those with a low income in the United States are eligible for SSI and SNAP. In light of this, it is essential to have limited resources and income. Those individuals who receive additional income or who surpass the wage limit may have their benefits reduced or even terminated.
If you are a recipient of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and you live on your own, you may get a maximum payment of $292. To put that into perspective, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities reports that the typical SNAP payment for a household consisting of one person is only $199. According to the CBPP, the maximum amount of SNAP payments that may be made to a household of eight is $1,756, which is approximately $1,317 on average.
