November 1, 2024, is set to be a busy day for Social Security recipients and other benefit programs in the United States.
Apart from the usual Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments, various other groups of beneficiaries will also receive payments on this date. Here’s what you need to know about the payments scheduled for November 1.
Rescheduled SSI Payments
Typically, SSI payments are made on the first day of each month. However, due to a scheduling quirk in 2024, the SSI payment for September was rescheduled to August 30.
This happens when the first of the month falls on a weekend or a federal holiday. Despite this change, the SSI payments for both October and November will be made on the 1st of each respective month, as usual.
Social Security Payments
In addition to SSI, certain Social Security payments will also be issued on November 1. This includes payments for two specific groups of beneficiaries:
- Retirees and SSDI Recipients Receiving Both SSI and Social Security: Some individuals receive both SSI and Social Security retirement or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits. These recipients may receive a check on November 1.
- Social Security Beneficiaries Who Began Receiving Payments Before May 1997: For retirees who started receiving Social Security benefits before May 1997, payments are typically made on the 3rd of the month. However, if the 3rd falls on a weekend or a holiday, these payments are issued two days earlier. In November 2024, these individuals will receive their payment on the 1st.
SNAP Payments
Apart from SSI and Social Security, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has also scheduled Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) payments for November 1.
These payments will include the 2025 Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) increase, benefiting recipients in the 48 contiguous states, the District of Columbia, Alaska, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
