Supplemental Security Income beneficiaries are due to get not one but two checks this November. The payment schedule can change month to month depending on which day a month starts. Below is the payment schedule for the rest of the year so you know when your checks will arrive.
Supplemental Security Income is a program run by the Social Security Administration. It benefits qualifying recipients with limited income and resources and people with qualifying disabilities. Children who are blind or with disabilities may also qualify for SSI.
If you just started receiving benefits, or you’re about to apply to SSI, we’ll break down the payment schedule for the rest of the year so you won’t have to guess when to expect your next check.

SSI payment schedule
Here’s when you can expect to receive your SSI payments for the rest of the year.
- Friday, Nov. 1
- Friday, Nov. 29 (for December)
For November, recipients will receive their first check on Friday, Nov. 1. Since the first day of December is a Sunday this year, that check will be paid out on Friday, Nov. 29.
If I get other Social Security benefits, will I get those early too?
No. For the most part, each Social Security benefit has a straightforward schedule, with only a couple of instances where it can waver from the typical timetable. For your reference, November’s Social Security payment schedule is below.
| If you’ve received Social Security before May 1997 | Nov. 1 |
|---|---|
| If your birthday falls between day 1 and 10 of the month | Nov. 13 |
| If your birthday falls between day 11 and 20 of the month | Nov. 20 |
| If your birthday falls between day 21 and 31 of the month | Nov. 27 |
