Overview

• The Social Security Administration will pay SSI on Oct. 1 and Oct. 30, with the late‑October payment counting as November’s benefit.
• No SSI payment will be issued in November because Nov. 1 falls on a Saturday under the program’s first‑of‑the‑month rule.
• Two SSI payments will also arrive in December, on Dec. 1 and Dec. 31, because New Year’s Day is a federal holiday.
• SSI supports roughly 7.5 million low‑income people, including about 2.4 million age 65 or older.
• The 2026 cost‑of‑living adjustment will be announced around Oct. 15, and current estimates suggest an increase of about 2.7%.
