After the October 16 and October 23, there will be no other paydays this month. Since some retirees have already collected their Social Security payments in October, they may be eager to receive their next check or direct deposit in November.
Bear in mind that it is frequent that some retirees receive another supplement from the Federal Government every month. They receive a low retirement check, but also an SSI payment. Therefore, 2 payments per month is not odd. For your information, there are no bonuses or extra payments.
Why some retirees on Social Security and SSI will receive 3 checks in November?
The thing is those who qualify for Social Security retirement and SSI benefits will get their monthly payments on November 1. November 1 is the normal payday for SSI.
However, it is not the normal payday for Social Security retirement benefits. Since November 3 is Sunday, the Administration has had to reschedule this payment to November 1 as well.
So those getting SSI and Social Security retirement will collect two payments on the very same day. What is more, the December SSI payment cannot be sent on Sunday, December 1, 2024. So, the SSI check for December will be sent in advance.
When has Social Security scheduled the SSI payment for December?
The Supplemental Security Income payment for December 1 will be issued on November 29 said Social Security. Therefore, this will be the third payment in November for those retirees who receive both retirement and SSI.
If you are receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (disability benefits) and Supplemental Security Income, you will also receive 3 checks in November. The advance SSI payment for December will also be delivered on November 29.
Anyway, as this is not a bonus or extra payment, you will need to save the November 29 payment for December. AS for the average amounts, retirees can receive approximately $1,920. Those on SSI too may receive a lot less than average payments. SSI checks can be about $698 on average.
