As November approaches, many beneficiaries of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security are eager to know when they will receive their payments. The Social Security Administration has confirmed key details regarding the payment schedule for this month, especially for those who may have already received their funds in October.

Supplemental Security Income recipients can expect their next check or direct deposit on November 1. For those receiving SSI as a couple, the payment amount is typically higher than that of individual recipients. It’s also important to note that these couples may qualify for additional benefits through Social Security retirement.
Couples on SSI and Social Security
While this article primarily focuses on SSI and retirement benefits, it is worth mentioning that married couples on Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) may also receive payments on the same schedule. Eligible married couples receiving SSI will see their payment on November 1. This date is significant as it aligns with payments for those on Social Security, making it possible for beneficiaries to receive both retirement or SSDI payments and SSI on the same day.
Payment Amounts for November
It’s crucial for recipients to be aware that the November payments will not include the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for 2025. Beneficiaries must wait until later months to receive this increase: December 31 for SSI recipients and between January 3 and 22 for those on retirement benefits.
Here are the average payment amounts for different groups in November:
- Retirees: Approximately $1,920
- SSDI Recipients: Around $1,539
- SSI Beneficiaries: About $698
- Seniors aged 65 or older: Average check of $575
In addition to these amounts, spouses of retired workers and spouses of disabled workers may also qualify for Social Security payments, potentially adding to their monthly income.
Average Payments for Spouses
- Average payment for spouses of retired workers: $909
- Average payment for spouses of workers with a disability: $421
Conclusion
As November unfolds, it’s essential for SSI and Social Security recipients to stay informed about their payment schedules and amounts. With the upcoming payments on November 1, recipients can plan their budgets accordingly. Understanding the specifics of these payments can help ensure that beneficiaries maximize their financial resources during this crucial time.
