Overview

  • SSI beneficiaries receive their November payment on Friday, Oct. 31 because Nov. 1 falls on a Saturday, resulting in no SSI deposit dated in November.
  • Regular Social Security checks follow the standard calendar: Nov. 3 for pre–May 1997 or dual beneficiaries, then Nov. 12, Nov. 19, and Nov. 26 based on birth dates.
  • The Social Security Administration says payments for Social Security and SSI remain on schedule during the shutdown, though some SSA services may face delays.
  • Paper checks have ended after a Sept. 30 deadline, with benefits now delivered electronically via direct deposit or the Direct Express prepaid card.
  • Checks will reflect a 2.8% COLA for 2026 starting with the Dec. 31 payment for January, an increase the SSA estimates averages about $56 per month.
