The Social Security Administration’s (SSA) new monthly payment is a lifesaver. This is particularly true if you are struggling to pay your basic living expenses. November will see a total of six payments scheduled by the agency.
However, these Social Security benefits are only available to people who have applied for them and had them approved. People collecting Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, and retirement benefits will get payments.
November is when Social Security announces which beneficiaries are eligible for double payments.
A small number of eligible Americans will get two November direct payments from the federal government. Plus, it’ll fall on the same pay period.
Since both payments are due on the same day, there will be no delay in processing either. On November 1, 2024, eligible individuals could get two checks, according to Social Security’s payment schedule.
Keep in mind that the federal government will distribute funds for Supplemental Security Income on November 1.
This retirement or SSDI payment will also be issued on November 1 in advance because November 3 falls on a weekend. This double payment is available to those who are eligible for both SSI and retirement or SSDI.
Medicare, Medicaid, and SSI beginning in November 2024
Keep in mind that those who are blind, have a low income, a handicap, or are 65 or older are the only ones eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

In addition, the third of every month is when you must be collecting Social Security. You need to have been collecting retirement or SSDI benefits prior to May 1997 in order to qualify for that.
A typical retirement check is about $1,920, but SSI can be as much as $698. Individuals can get up to $943 from SSI and married couples can receive up to $1,415 from the program; the maximum amount for retirement is $4,873.
