Halloween isn’t the only thing people look forward to in October. Social Security recipients can also expect some important payment dates in November.
Let’s take a look at the dates when Social Security plans to send out its payments, including a special surprise for some recipients.
Social Security Payments in November 2024
The Social Security Administration has some good news for recipients this November. For some, monthly payments will be sent early. The third payment of the month will be issued on November 1, 2024.
Two Payments on November 1
Along with retirement or SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) payments on November 1, people who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) will also get their checks or direct deposits on the same day.
For SSI recipients, the November 1 payment isn’t a bonus, but a payment sent ahead of schedule.
This will allow them to receive two payments in one month – one for November and one for December. However, there’s no need to worry, as this is not an extra payment, just an early one to help with financial planning.
Who Gets Paid Early?
Eligibility for the early payment depends on when you started receiving Social Security benefits or if you qualify for SSI. People who began getting retirement or SSDI payments before May 1997 will receive their payment on November 1, 2024. Those receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) also qualify for the early payment.
Social Security Payment Schedule for November
- November 1: SSI, SSDI, and Retirement (for those who receive payment on the 3rd of each month)
