Advance checks in November for Social Security and SSI beneficiaries

• Additional Social Security payment in November.
• Up to three payments in November.
• New online application for SSI.

Some Social Security beneficiaries may receive an additional check in November.

This extra payment specifically affects recipients of Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

SSI is a program that provides aid to disabled adults and low-income seniors.

In November, these beneficiaries will receive an additional payment that corresponds to the month of December.

Advance Social Security payments in November due to the calendar

This advance payment is due to the calendar, as December 1 falls on a Sunday.

Additionally, some people who receive both SSI and Social Security could get up to three payments in November.

The first SSI payment will be on November 1, while the second will arrive on November 29.

The Social Security payment will also be advanced to November 1 because the 3rd falls on a Sunday.

Social Security payments for those who do not receive SSI will follow the regular schedule.

This schedule sets payments for the second, third, or fourth Wednesday of the month, depending on the recipient’s birthdate.

The maximum amount an eligible individual can receive through SSI in 2024 is $943.

If the beneficiary has an eligible partner, the maximum joint payment will be $1,415.

Essential persons, those who live with and support a beneficiary, will receive up to $472.

Starting in December, interested individuals can apply for SSI through a new online tool called iClaim.

This option will be available only for first-time SSI applicants who meet certain requirements.

The Social Security Administration plans to expand this tool to all applicants by the end of 2025.
