Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) payments don’t stop in November. There are still three payments to be made, and individuals receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) will also get their payments as scheduled.
However, the exact date and eligibility depend on factors such as your birth date and when your disability benefits were approved. Here’s everything you need to know about these payments.
When Will SSDI Payments Be Sent in November?
SSDI payments are made based on birth dates and specific criteria. Here is the schedule for November:
- November 13: For those born between the 1st and 10th of any month.
- November 20: For individuals born between the 11th and 20th.
- November 27: For those born between the 21st and 31st.
If you qualify for SSDI and meet these requirements, your payment will arrive on the corresponding Wednesday.
Will SSI Payments Arrive in November?
Even if you don’t receive SSDI, SSI payments remain unaffected in November. Recipients will receive their December payment early, on November 29. This happens because SSI payments are usually sent one day before a federal holiday or weekend.
How Much Can You Expect From SSDI in November?
The Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) increase for 2025 doesn’t take effect until January 2025. Therefore, SSDI payment amounts in November remain unchanged:
- Average monthly payment: $1,539.
- Spouse’s benefit: $421 (average).
- Child’s benefit: $492 (average).
- Maximum SSDI payment: $3,822 (will increase to $4,018 after the COLA adjustment).
Eligibility Requirements for SSDI Payments
To receive SSDI payments, you must meet specific criteria:
- Have a qualifying disability approved after April 30, 1997.
- Must not receive SSI benefits.
- Must have worked jobs that contributed enough to Social Security taxes for at least 35 years.
For maximum benefits, individuals are encouraged to wait until their full retirement age to file.
Important Notes About SSDI Payments
- Payments are sent based on your birth date and eligibility status.
- COLA increases apply only to payments starting in January 2025.
- If you don’t qualify for SSDI, you may still be eligible for SSI benefits.
Social Security ensures that SSDI and SSI payments remain timely, helping individuals with disabilities and their families meet their financial needs.
With three more SSDI payments to come in November and the SSI payment arriving on November 29, beneficiaries should keep track of these dates. If you have questions, contact the Social Security Administration for personalized assistance.
