Social Security Recipients to Receive Extra Payments in November

Some beneficiaries, including SSI recipients, will see additional checks due to calendar quirks and a scheduled COLA increase.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients will receive two payments in November, with checks arriving on November 1 and November 29.
The early November payment is due to November 3 falling on a Sunday, prompting checks to be issued on November 1.
Regular Social Security beneficiaries will receive their payments according to the usual schedule based on their birth dates.
A 2.5% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) will increase monthly payments starting in January 2025, with the typical check rising by about $50.
The maximum monthly Social Security benefit is $4,873 for those who retire at age 70, reflecting years of contributions and delayed retirement.
