When do you get your Social Security payment for July in California? See schedule
That's because the SSA is expected in late July to begin withholding 50% of benefits for those who have been overpaid but have yet to begin repayments. There's no public figure on how many recipients have been overpaid, but the SSA tried to reclaim overpayments from about 2 million people in the fiscal year that ended September 2023, according to KFF and Cox Media Group, based on data acquired in a Freedom of Information Act request.
Social Security benefits – mostly for those who are older or retired – typically are paid on Wednesdays. Your payment date depends on your birthdate: if it falls between the first and 10th days of the month, you are issued payments on the second Wednesday of the month (this month that's July 9), according to Social Security Administration's calendar.

The rest of payments go out on subsequent Wednesdays, with recipients born between the 11th and 20th getting paid on the third Wednesday (July 16), and those born after the 20th of the month getting payments on the fourth Wednesday of the month (July 23), according to the SSA calendar.
Social Security recipients who began getting benefits before May 1997 are paid on the 3rd of the month. The same goes for recipients who also get SSI payments.

House Democrat: Senate ‘took an ugly bill and they made it even uglier'
Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas) said Wednesday that Republican senators who advanced the latest iteration of President Trump's domestic policy plan made it worse than the version he voted against when it passed the House in May. 'I think the Senate accomplished a near impossible task: They took an ugly bill, and they made it even uglier,' Doggett told CNN 'News Central' anchor John Berman. 'We're going to do all we can to influence and to expose the dangers of this bill and to call out Republican colleagues on this.' The GOP-controlled Senate passed the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' with a tie-breaking vote from Vice President Vance on Tuesday after a marathon debate over the proposal, which would extend the tax breaks from Trump's first term as president and cut spending on social safety net programs like Medicaid and food stamps. The House returned to the Capitol on Wednesday to address differences between the versions ahead of a self-imposed Friday deadline for final passage. Doggett acknowledged that some of the changes, including the Senate's addition of Trump's campaign promise to eliminate taxes on tipped earnings, may be popular with Americans but said they don't make up for more drastic measures in the proposal or its increase to the federal debt. 'These little flourishes that were added, like no tax on tips, are issues that are designed to cover the horrible job that they're doing,' he said. 'There is a way to address these concerns, not see Americans lose their health care, not engage in this fiscal irresponsibility that has been condemned by so many observers.' Trump again pushed back Wednesday on arguments that the bill would exacerbate the federal debt, arguing that it will promote job growth that will help Americans adjust to other measures. 'THE ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL DEAL IS ALL ABOUT GROWTH. IF PASSED, AMERICA WILL HAVE AN ECONOMIC RENAISSANCE LIKE NEVER BEFORE,' Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. 'IT IS ALREADY HAPPENING, JUST IN ANTICIPATION OF THE BEAUTIFUL BILL. DEFICIT CUT IN HALF, RECORD INVESTMENT — CASH, FACTORIES, JOBS POURING INTO THE USA. MAGA!!!' Doggett, responding to that post from the president on CNN, rejected Trump's claim. 'Of course, there had been some people that have talked about growth, and they've said we'll get practically none,' he said. Democrats are hoping for more Republican defectors, like Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), whom Trump bashed for opposing the legislation. The president had voiced support for challengers to Tillis in the senator's reelection bid next fall, but Tillis announced Sunday that he would not seek a third Senate term. '[Tillis] was courageous enough to put his own job on the line in order to speak out against the injustice of this bill,' Doggett said. 'I think that the first people in the country who were intimidated by Donald Trump were not immigrants or poor people; they were my Republican colleagues.' 'They are fearful … but we have to appeal to their better side and hope that they will do the right thing here,' he added.

A quarter of Americans are now too stressed about money to have sex: survey
It's a recession in affection. Money problems used to just ruin weekends and credit scores — now they're ruining date nights, libido, and long-term relationships. According to a recent ZipHealth survey, one in four Americans (26%) say they're too stressed about money to have sex. Finance issues are becoming foreplay's biggest mood killer. Advertisement 3 A shocking 1 in 4 Americans (26%) say they're too stressed about money to have sex, according to a recent ZipHealth survey. Pixel-Shot – Economic uncertainty is no longer just showing up in bank statements; it's sneaking under the sheets. Financial pressure is reshaping how we date, relate, and procreate. With 73% of renters cost-burdened, and nearly half spending more than 50% of their income on housing, there's not much left for dinner and flowers, Hud Housing Network reported. Advertisement More than half of Americans (53%) say the lack of affordable date nights is hurting their sex lives. Meanwhile, 1 in 2 renters has delayed breaking up because they literally can't afford to move out. Forget 'staying for the kids.' In 2025, couples stay for the Wi-Fi and shared Netflix. 3 Turns out, love doesn't conquer all — especially not $5,000 rent and an empty fridge. Kay Abrahams/ – The data doesn't lie — broke people are having less sex and enjoying it even less when they do. Financially satisfied folks are twice as likely to have good sex lives, 2.6 times more likely to have frequent sex, and 6 times more likely to feel secure in their relationships. Advertisement Meanwhile, almost a quarter of young adults say they're avoiding dating entirely due to financial uncertainty. In the end, it's clear: money isn't just shaping our futures — it's hijacking our love lives. Whether it's lease regret, delayed breakups, or the bedroom turning into a budgeting office, Americans are feeling the heat from overdue bills, not the sexual tension. 3 With 73% of renters cost-burdened, and nearly half spending over half their income on housing, there's not much left for dinner and flowers, Hud Housing Network reported. Prostock-studio – Advertisement So if your love life feels like it's on pause, don't blame your partner. Blame the economy. Love may be free — but in 2025, sex comes with a cost.

Tesla has late start in a crucial race for its future
Robotaxis are coming to a city street near you, whether you like it or not. According to recent surveys, the majority of Americans are not very fond of autonomous 4,000-pound vehicles ambling down their streets. "Consumers are skeptical of the full self-driving (FSD) technology that undergirds the robotaxi proposition, with 60% considering Tesla's full self-driving 'unsafe,' 77% unwilling to utilize full self-driving technology, and a substantial share (48%) believing full self-driving should be illegal," according to the May 2025 edition of the Electric Vehicle Intelligence Report (EVIR). Related: Tesla makes surprising admission about its robotaxi But not every robotaxi is operated by Tesla. Even though it's the most high-profile robotaxi operator, Tesla is actually late to the autonomous-driving party. There are companies, both in America and abroad, with millions of miles and thousands of hours under their belts. When Ford CEO Jim Farley recently said that U.S. tech companies passed on becoming carmakers, he was not technically correct. While they don't plan to enter the industry in a way that would be threatening to a company like Ford, Alphabet's (GOOGL) Waymo is the Silicon Valley giant's biggest bite at the apple. Waymo One users register over a quarter of a million paid weekly trips across Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Austin, with plans to expand to Atlanta, Miami, and Washington, D.C., in 2026. Waymo's current fleet features over 1,500 vehicles spread across its four current host cities, but by next year, it expects to more than double its fleet with more than 2,000 new additions. The company is relying on a new, 239,000-square-foot factory outside Phoenix in Mesa, Arizona, to integrate thousands of Jaguar I-PACE vehicles with Waymo's fully autonomous technology. The factory is a joint venture between Waymo and mobile tech company Magna International. Image source: Smith Collection/Gado/Getty Images Amazon acquired the autonomous vehicle company Zoox in 2020. And for over a decade, Zoox has been building an autonomous vehicle designed to stand out from others on the road. There's a reason the rectangular glass-paneled Zoox robotaxi looks so weird. Besides the vehicles' lack of steering wheels, perhaps the most interesting Zoox feature is its two-engine design. Zoox calls its vehicles bidirectional, meaning there is no forward or reverse, because both directions are forward. The two motors at different ends of the car allow it to drive forward in two directions. Unlike Tesla (TSLA) , which has said it doesn't use the technology because it's too expensive, both Waymo and Zoox utilize light detection and ranging (LiDAR) to navigate traffic autonomously. Related: Elon Musk's robotaxi has a serious problem LiDAR uses lasers to measure distances and create highly detailed 3D models of its surroundings. Zoox uses this tech, along with cameras, radar, long-wave infrared sensors, and microphones, to map the traffic around it. Morgan Stanley says Zoox is still a couple of years behind Waymo, as Waymo is already in more than five cities, while Zoox is still in just two. But Morgan Stanley sees the company taking a similar route as its more established rival as production ramps up for the company. Currently, Zoox has only a few dozen purpose-built robotaxis on the road, and the Hayward facility produces only one vehicle per day. Still, the firm expects that number to increase exponentially as it expands to more cities. Zoox has over one million miles driven in company. Morgan Stanley expects Zoox to launch in Las Vegas and San Francisco by the end of the year. Tesla robotaxi launched in Austin, Texas, in late June, to much fanfare. Tesla has just 10 robotaxis on the street in Austin. It also has ambitions to expand to different locales, but its debut has gotten off to a rocky start. Multiple videos have appeared on social media showing the vehicles failing to achieve the basic road competence of a student driver. Tesla Robotaxi may not have the miles under its belt that its competition does, but it does have a scale advantage. Earlier this year, Tesla said that its FSD system has driven a cumulative total of 3.6 billion miles, nearly triple the 1.3 billion cumulative miles it reported a year ago.
