Overview

  • Supplemental Security Income is paid today, Oct. 1, with the November payment advanced to Oct. 31 because Nov. 1 falls on a weekend.
  • Regular retirement, disability, and survivor benefits follow the staggered schedule this month on Oct. 8, Oct. 15, and Oct. 22 based on birth dates.
  • The Social Security Administration ended paper checks on Sept. 30, and all benefits are now delivered electronically by direct deposit or Direct Express.
  • Reports differ on the early-month date for beneficiaries who began collecting before 1997, citing Oct. 3 or Oct. 5, so recipients in that group should confirm the SSA calendar.
  • SSI pays up to $967 per month for individuals and $1,450 for couples, serving roughly 7.4 million recipients within more than 74 million Americans who receive SSA benefits.
