Typically, SSI payments are made once a month. However, due to scheduling conflicts with holidays or weekends, some payments may be issued in the previous month. For November, the SSI payment for December will be issued on November 29, 2024.

SSDI recipients can expect three additional payment days in November. These payments are scheduled as follows:

- November 27: For recipients born between the 21st and 31st of the month
While SSI and SSDI payments are generally issued on different days, there are occasions when they coincide. This typically occurs when a payment needs to be sent ahead of schedule. In November 2024, SSI recipients will receive their next payment on November 1, provided they remain eligible. To receive an SSDI payment on this date, individuals must also be receiving SSI or have received benefits before May 1997.
