Remember, over 99% of recipients are paid via direct deposit, which significantly reduces delays.
When Can You Start Collecting Social Security?
You can begin receiving reduced benefits at age 62, but your monthly amount increases the longer you wait. Your full retirement age (FRA) depends on your birth year:

|---|---|
| 1958 | 66 years and 8 months |
| 1959 | 66 years and 10 months |
| 1960 or later | 67 years |
In 2025, those born between May 2, 1958, and February 28, 1959, will reach their full retirement age.
Maximize Your Social Security Benefits
To boost your long-term Social Security income:
- Delay benefits until your full retirement age or later
- Continue working to increase your earnings record
- Avoid early claims unless financially necessary
- Combine with SSI, if eligible, for additional support
If you’re a Georgia resident receiving Social Security, it’s important to know your exact July 2025 deposit date, whether it’s for retirement benefits or SSI. With over 1.9 million recipients in the state, these payments are crucial for financial security.
