The Social Security Administration sends millions of dollars in payments every month to American retirees, survivors, disabled people, and people who get Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
According to the SSA’s current schedule, beneficiaries will get six payments throughout the month. For SSI beneficiaries, the payments always begin on the first of the month.
After this payment is made, people who get benefits from the retirement, survivor, or disability insurance (RSDI) program will get them on the third of the month. However, since that day is a weekend, they will also get their payments on November 1st.
Social Security confirmed six payments in November
To get the most money from Social Security, recipients must meet all of the agency’s requirements.
As it can be hard to qualify for these maximum payments, we suggest that you talk to an SSA specialist or a financial counselor to find out how much money you have and the best way to get these monthly checks.
It is possible that the delay is due to the way your bank processes payments. If your checks do not arrive on time, please wait at least three mailing days before calling customer service.
The next year will also have some strange calendar patterns, and you can find the calendar for 2025 online as well. In this case, people who get SSI will get their January 2025 payments on December 31, 2024.
After that, they will get paid for February 2025 on January 31, 2025, and for March 2025 on February 28, 2025. Aside from these monthly payments, the Social Security Administration also makes six other payments every month.
In light of the 2024 Social Security payment schedule, the following are the average amounts that beneficiaries will receive in November:
| Beneficiaries | Average monthly benefit | Plus 2.5% COLA increase | Extra benefit |
| Retired Workers | $1,900 | $1,948 | $48 |
| Survivors | $1,508 | $1,546 | $38 |
| Disabled people | $1,537 | $1,575 | $38 |
| SSI: Individuals | $943 | $967 | $24 |
| SSI: Couples | $1,415 | $1,450 | $35 |
It is important to remember that if your monthly benefits do not arrive on time, you should wait at least three mailing days before calling Social Security’s customer service.
The delay could be due to how your bank processes the payments. Also, remember that your My Social Security Account is always open and can give you more information about your payment amounts.
Finally, do not call SSA’s customer service until at least three mailing days have passed.
How can beneficiaries apply for the maximum Social Security payment?
You should know that people who want to get the most out of Social Security must follow all of the rules set by the Social Security Administration.
For those who might have trouble qualifying for these maximum payments, we suggest that you talk to a financial advisor or Social Security worker about your situation to figure out the best way to get these monthly checks.
Do not call customer service until at least three mailing days have passed if you do not receive your checks on time. This is because the delay could be caused by your bank’s payment process.
Social Security payments will increase by 2.5% for all beneficiaries in the US
This month, the Social Security Administration (SSA) said that all benefits for more than 72.5 million Americans will go up by 2.5%.
This is part of the annual cost of living adjustment (COLA). SSI benefits will go up in December and retirement benefits will go up in January.
Every year, the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) averages from the same time last year and the third quarter of this year are used to figure out the COLA.
In the event that benefits go up, they are rounded up to the nearest tenth of one percent.
Mary Johnson, an independent expert on Social Security and Medicare policy, says that a person who gets $1,870 a month from SSA will see their payment go up by about $46.80 because of the 2.5% increase.
