Some Social safety beneficiaries are scheduled to soon get the first of three checks – yes, three – in the month of November.

It’s not a mistake, just an oddity of the calendar. Those who also get Supplemental safety income (SSI) will get three checks in the month of November.

Here’s the lowdown: SSI recipients should get their November remittance on Nov. 1. Then, SSI recipients will get their regular Social safety retirement fund benefits on a Wednesday in November, based on the Social safety Administration’s usual schedule.

Later in the month, SSI recipients will also get their December SSI check. The rationale? Those checks usually arrive out on the first business day of each month. Since Dec. 1 is a Sunday, December SSI payments will be distributed on Friday, Nov. 29, according to the SSA calendar.

Why would SSI recipients get two checks in November?

More than 7.4 million Americans get SSI, which provides payments to people with limited income resources, beyond traditional Social safety benefits. Because of the way the days of the month play out in December, SSI recipients will get their November remittance on Nov. 1 and their monthly remittance for December a bit early, on Friday, Nov. 29, according to the SSA calendar.

SSI schedule quirks continue through early 2025

The calendar quirks do not complete there. Since the first business day in January 2025 is recent Year’s Day, a federal holiday, SSI recipients will get their January remittance early, too. It will be issued on Dec. 31, 2024.

Then, according to the 2025 SSA calendar, SSI recipients will get their February 2025 remittance on Jan. 31, 2025, and their March 2025 remittance on Feb. 28, 2025. That means SSI recipients will not get a remittance during the calendar month of March.

SSI recipients will also get two checks in May with the monthly SSI remittance to be issued on May 1 and the June SSI remittance on May 30, according to the SSA calendar. As a outcome, SSI beneficiaries will not get a remittance in the calendar month of June.

This happens again in the month of August: SSI recipients will get two checks – the September remittance is to be issued on Aug. 29 – but no remittance in the calendar month of September.

What is Supplemental safety income or SSI?

SSI provides monthly payments to those with limited income and who are 65 or older, blind, or those who have a qualifying disability – that includes children with a qualifying disability, too – according to the SSA website. For adults, SSI is generally for those who don’t earn more than $1,971 from work each month.If you ponder you could be eligible for SSI, you can commence the application procedure on the Social safety website.
