SSI is the Supplemental Security Income payment. Although Social Security administers these checks, they are federally funded. This money is only for low-income Americans who have a disability, are blind, or are at least 65 years old.
Social Security’s payment schedule unveiled that there will be 2 SSI payments arriving during the same month, November in this case. So, let’s see what it implies for eligible beneficiaries.
Social Security scheduled 2 SSI direct deposits for November
In total, Supplemental Security Income recipients get 12 payments per year. That means no one will receive more than 1 check or direct deposit per month. However, sometimes there are no payments scheduled for one month. This is simply because SSI payments are delivered on the first day of the month.
If this payday falls on the weekend, or it is a federal holiday, it needs to be issued on the previous business day. Since it falls on the first day of the month, and it needs to be rescheduled for the previous business day, it always falls on the previous month.
So, that makes is viable for Social Security to schedule 2 payments during one month and none in others. But still, there will just be one check per month, so there will be no bonus or extra payment.
SSI payment dates for November and possible amounts
The Social Security Administration will send Supplemental Security Income on November 1. So, this will be your check or direct deposit for November. However, the check for December will be sent on November 29
- Supplemental Security Income payment on October 1
- Supplemental Security Income payment on November 1
- Supplemental Security Income payment on November 29 (for December)
As for the maximum amounts, SSI recipients can get up to $943 if they are individuals. Eligible married couples can get up to $1,415. Essential persons can receive a smaller payment of up to $472.
