If you are currently eligible for these monthly benefits, find out when your next payments are due and what you need to do to get into the different programs.
Social Security prepares new retirees’ paychecks changes for November
The goal of Social Security benefits is to give retired people, disabled people, and survivors a financial safety net. The amount you get is based on how much money you have made over your lifetime, specifically the average of the 35 years when you made the most money.
A cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) is made every year to make sure that these payments keep up with the cost of living. People who turn 70 years old and retire in November 2024 will get the most money from Social Security, which is $4,873.
Also, the most Supplemental Security Income (SSI) a person who is eligible can get is $943, and the most they can get with a spouse who is also eligible is $1,415.
Retirement Age | Maximum Benefit |
Age 62 | $2,710 |
Full Retirement Age | $3,822 |
Age 70 | $4,873 |
SSI Payments | |
Eligible Individuals | $943 |
Eligible Couples | $1,415 |
When will Social Security checks arrive in November?
Recent numbers show that Social Security helps about 73 million people with money. This includes retirees, disabled people, and the families of workers who have died.
To make sure that payments are made on time, the SSA keeps a well-organized payment schedule. To give you an example, checks are sent to people born between the 1st and 10th of the month every second Wednesday.
People born between November 11th and December 20th get theirs on the third Wednesday, and people born between December 21st and December 30th get theirs on the fourth Wednesday.
This organized way of doing things makes it easier to send money to the millions of Americans who depend on Social Security for benefits like retirement, disability, and death.

Here is a list of when you can expect to get your November Social Security payments. Some people will be glad to get their checks before Black Friday because the holidays are coming up.
Social Security Payment Schedule | Recipient |
November 1 | Social Security and Medicare Insurance (SSI) payments, as well as if you began receiving benefits before May 1997. |
November 13 | Beneficiaries with birthdays that fall between the 1st and the 10th of any month. |
November 20 | Beneficiaries with birthdays that fall between the 11th and the 20th of any month. |
November 27 | Beneficiaries with birthdays that fall between the 21st and the 31st of any month. |
November 29 | SSI Payment |
When will SSI recipients receive their two payments in November?
Because of how the calendar is set up this year, SSI recipients get two payments in November. SSI payments are usually made on the first of the month, but if that day falls on a holiday or weekend, they are made the business day before.
November 1, 2024, is a Friday, so people who are supposed to get money will get it on that day.
But because December 1 is a Sunday, subscribers will get their payment for the month on November 29, which is the last Friday of the month. Because of this, people who get Supplemental Security Income (SSI) will get two payments in November.
It is also important to note that on October 10, the Social Security Administration announced a 2.5% cost of living adjustment (COLA) for 2025.
Even though the 2025 COLA is supposed to help pensioners keep up with inflation, experts say it does not go far enough to help them.
Shannon Benton, executive director of The Senior Citizens League, said in a press release that this year is yet another missed opportunity to give seniors the money they are entitled to by changing the COLA calculation from the CPI-W to the CPI-E, which would better reflect how seniors’ spending habits are changing.
