The Social Security Administration has scheduled all the SSI and SSDI payments for November. While Social Security Disability Insurance is just for people who have a qualifying disability and have paid enough taxes to SSA, SSI is not just for people with a disability.
SSI payments can also be for seniors, apart from people who are blind or have a disability. Even if there are 4 Disability Insurance paydays for November, eligible beneficiaries can only receive one per month. The SSI payment will only send one check per month, but it could be sent on the previous month.
Recipients on both SSDI and SSI
The good thing about these disability benefits, is the fact that you can collect both of them. So, if there can be an SSI payment sent in advance, and some recipients with a low income can get both disability benefits, here is why some will get 3 payments in November. Payment schedule for next month:
- SSI due on November 1
- for eligible seniors who got approval
- for eligible blind people
- for eligible people with a disability
- SSDI on November 1
- on Disability Insurance benefits before May 1997
- or for those who are receiving SSI benefits at the same time
- SSDI will also be sent on November 13, 20 and 27
- these recipients will only receive one of these checks, not SSI
- SSI due on November 29 (check for December)
SSDI and SSI recipients who will get 3 checks on November
As you can see on the Social Security Administration payment schedule, there will be 2 SSI checks in November. So, that makes 2 different payments. Then, if you are also receiving the November 1 SSDI check, you will receive a total of 3 payments.
As for the maximum amounts, an SSI recipient can get up to $943 if single. Eligible married couples could get up to $1,415. SSDI recipients can get an average check worth $1,539.
If you are receiving SSI and SSDI your Disability Insurance payment may be lower than the average amount. If you still do not have enough money to buy food, apply for SNAP benefits.
