Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments are usually sent on the first of every month, but they can sometimes be delayed because of holidays or weekends. When this happens, the Social Security Administration (SSA) changes the payment date.
In December 2024, for example, the SSI payment that would have normally been sent on December 1st will instead be sent on November 29th, 2024. This is 48 hours earlier than usual.
How Much Will You Get on November 29, 2024?
If you’re still eligible for SSI and nothing has changed in your life, your payment amount will be the same as it was on November 1, 2024. The average SSI payment is about $697 per month, but this can vary depending on your age or group. Here are some details about different SSI payment amounts:
- Average SSI for all recipients: $697
- SSI for children (under 18): $813
- SSI for adults aged 18-64: $743
- SSI for seniors (65+): $574
It’s important to report any big life changes to the SSA, like getting married or starting a new job, as these can affect your payment amount.
Will the November 29 Payment Include the 2025 COLA Increase?
The SSI payment on November 29, 2024, will not include the 2025 Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) increase.
SSI recipients will have to wait until December 31, 2024, to get the COLA increase. This increase will be 2.5%, which will be added to payments starting in 2025.
Other Social Security beneficiaries, like those who receive retirement or disability benefits, will get the COLA increase starting in January 2025, with payments arriving between January 3-22, 2025.
