The U.S. Government funds the Federal SSI payments. Besides, the Social Security Administration’s funds provide the necessary money for retirees and disability insurance recipients. So, whether you are receiving SSI, SSDI, or retirement benefit payments, you may still qualify for a new monthly payment. Unless you received an SSDI or retirement check or direct deposit in November, you qualify for a payment if you are on benefits.
For example, the SSI (Supplemental Security Income) benefit payment for December 1, 2024, will be issued on November 29, 2024. Therefore, there will be 2 paydays for these recipients during this month. Even if the first payday was for November and the other one for December.
Social Security Disability Insurance and retirement benefits payment dates
The Administration will issue a new monthly payment on November 20, 2024. Hence, many eligible recipients will soon be enjoying a new check or direct deposit as long as you:
- are not receiving SSI payments
- and did not start collecting payments before May 1997
- meets the birthday requirement
- born from 11-20 of any month
- have filed and gotten approval
- have not broken SSA’s rules
To get money from Social Security on November 27, you must meet the same requirements but you must have been born from 21-31 instead.
Social Security payment amounts in November
As a matter of fact, the smallest checks in November will be for SSI recipients. The Supplemental Security Income program issues monthly checks or direct deposits of about $697 on average.
Those who qualify for the largest SSI payment get $943 (individuals) and $1,415 (eligible married couples). SSDI recipients get about $1,542 on average. The largest SSDI check or direct deposit can be up to $3,822.
Retirees on Social Security can receive a monthly payment of about $1,924 on average. The largest benefit payment will be $4,873 for high earners who filed at the age of 70. If you filed at 62 you can only receive up to $2,710.
Can receive SSI and SSDI benefits simultaneously
Yes, you can receive both Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits simultaneously in certain situations. This is known as receiving “concurrent” benefits.
SSI is intended to bring your total income up to a minimum level. So if you receive SSDI, your SSI benefit will be reduced by the amount of your SSDI payment minus $20.
If you have a low SSDI payment, SSI can provide additional income up to the maximum SSI amount.
You may be able to get SSI while waiting out the 5-month delay for SSDI benefits to start.
