Individuals receiving Social Security benefits can access a monthly schedule outlining expected payment dates. The official website has a dedicated section for payments, and the deadlines for July are now available.
Knowing the schedule allows beneficiaries to anticipate the receipt of social subsidies, which can aid in better household budget planning for the upcoming month.
Payments commence on Thursday, July 3, starting with pensions and allowances related to occupational illness, according to the schedule.
Subsequently, on July 7, rental support will be distributed.
On July 8, payments will include pensions, the Solidarity Supplement for the Elderly, the Social Inclusion Benefit, and Funeral Expenses Reimbursement.
This is followed by July 16, marked by the dispensing of the 1st Unemployment/Illness/ Parental/Social Action Payment and Family Allowances.
Later in the month, on July 23, the Social Insertion Income is disbursed. Payments conclude on July 28, with the 2nd Unemployment/Illness/Parental/Social Action Payment. On this date, the Informal Caregiver Support Subsidy is also paid.
All these payments will be made via bank transfer or postal order, except for rental support, which is solely through bank transfer.
What benefits and subsidies are you entitled to? Simulate
Social Security has launched a simulator to determine potential social supports or subsidies. “This is a new digital tool designed to simplify access to information about available social benefits,” explains the Social Security Institute (ISS).
“With an intuitive operation, the simulator allows citizens to quickly and easily determine which social benefits they may be entitled to based on entered data, though results are non-binding,” the ISS adds.
Social Security’s new simulator allows citizens “to quickly and easily discover what social benefits they might be entitled to.”

What will you need?
According to the ISS, to respond to the simulator’s questions accurately, certain information is required, and users can refer to it when starting the process, which takes an average of seven minutes.
“This simulator covers most Social Security benefits. The results solely depend on the data entered and are not binding,” the organization notes.
Moreover, the “benefits listed in the simulation results correspond to the person conducting the simulation and their dependents,” while “other household members should simulate separately to discover benefits such as unemployment subsidy.”
“If you reside, work, or have worked abroad, the simulation results may not accurately reflect your specific situation,” it is further noted.
