WASHINGTON – The calendar has officially moved into November, entering the season less natural lightThanksgiving and Christmas on the mind and another round of Social Security payment for beneficiaries.

The Social Security Administration sends regular monthly payments (SSA benefits), but the date varies—generally, depending on the day you were born. Social Security Retirement, Disability, and Survivors (RSDI) recipients who filed after May 1, 1997, are assigned either the second, third, or fourth Wednesday of the month.

Those who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI), which are monthly payments for people with disabilities and older adults who have little or no income or resources, are paid on the 1st of the month.

If the first falls on a weekend, as was the case for Septemberthen payments are issued on the Friday before 1. Those who received benefits before May 1997 also have a specific payment date.

Here are the dates when beneficiaries can expect monthly payments in November.

Social security payment schedule for November 2024

• SSA recipients who began receiving benefits before May 1997: November 1
• Birthday between 1st and 10th of the month: November 13 (second Wednesday of the month)
• Birthday between 11 and 20 of the month: November 20 (third Wednesday of the month
• Birthday between the 21st and 31st of the month: November 27 (fourth Wednesday of the month)

2 Social Security payments in November for some

Meanwhile, those receiving SSI will receive an additional check in November due to the way the payment schedule is lined up.

As mentioned, the Social Security Administration usually sends payments on the 1st of the month for SSI. However, if the date falls on a weekend or holiday – as is the case on Sunday, December 1 – the administration pays ahead of schedule.

In this case, SSI recipients will receive their December payment on Friday, November 29.

How to report a missing Social Security payment

Those who don’t receive their electronic payment on the scheduled date should first contact their bank or financial institution, according to the Social Security Administration — which notes that “you may experience a delay in the payment showing up.”

Those who still need to report a late, missing or stolen Social Security payment should call the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) or contact their local Social Security office.

“We will review the case and if payment is due, we will replace it,” the administration said says on his website.
