Month after month, the Social Security Administration (SSA) sends benefits to retired workers and survivors, i.e. , to the children, spouses, widows, widowers or parents of a deceased beneficiary. The SSA also sends disability benefits from the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI).
According to official information from the SSA, nearly 70 million payments are issued every month.
As for November payments, the SSA has already begun shipping. On November 1, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits were sent, while the second payment of the month is sent on November 3, who will receive it?
Who will receive $1,800 from Social Security on November 3?
On the third day of each month, the SSA sends the money to beneficiaries who began receiving their payments before May 1997.
If the third day falls on a weekend or holiday, payments are advanced. However, this is not the case this month, so on Friday, November 3, the SSA will send payments for those who began receiving their Social Security benefits before May 1997.
In 2023, the average payments for retirees have been $1,848, according to the SSA. On the other hand, the maximum benefit for those who retire at age 62 is $2,572 per month, $3,627 for workers who retire at full retirement age (67 years) and $4,555 for those who retire at age 70. or after.
The November Social Security payment schedule is as follows:
- November 1: SSI Beneficiary
- November 3: Beneficiaries who began receiving their payments before May 1997
- November 8: Beneficiaries with a date of birth between the 1st and the 10th
- November 15: Beneficiaries with a date of birth between the 11th and the 20th
- November 22: Beneficiaries with a date of birth between the 21st and 31st
Payments are sent via direct deposit to those who have provided a bank account to the Social Security Administration, which is now federally mandated since 2013. Less than one percent still receive their payment as a paper check via postal mail, which may take additional days to arrive.
The Social Security Administration recommends that those who still receive their benefits in the mail should sign up for direct deposit either at their local office or using my Social Security account.
According to the SSA, if you don’t receive your payment when you expect it, wait three days for additional shipping before contacting Social Security.
