When you receive your check depends on how long you have been collecting Social Security and your date of birth. Note that SSI recipients get two checks this month and none the next

The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefit payments will be distributed twice in August - on Friday, Aug 1 and on Friday, Aug. 29. The second August payment is scheduled because the first day of September lands on a holiday - Labor Day.

Social Security payments in August will follow a normal schedule for Michigan retirees and others who receive money, however those who were previously overpaid by the Social Security Administration may see smaller benefit checks.
