November Social security disability insurance Checks are being sent to a group of beneficiaries this week. If you’re not sure whether you fall into that group, the Social Security Administration will determine your payment date based on when you started receiving SSDI and the day your birthday falls. We explain it below. In addition, if you receive additional security income, you will receive that payment on November 1.
We’ll help you figure out when your SSDI money could arrive this month. Note that the SSDI scheme is similar to Social security payments unless you’ve been getting SSDI checks for decades. Did you know that another COLA increase is coming in 2024?
Payment schedule if you have received SSDI since 1997 or earlier
If you have been an SSDI recipient since May 1997 or earlier, you will receive your payment on the third day of each month.
However, there are exceptions. If the third day of the month falls on a weekend or holiday, you will receive your payment on the nearest business day. For example, June 3 fell on a Saturday, so beneficiaries received their payments on Friday, June 2.
When your check arrives depends on your date of birth and the year you started receiving SSDI money.
The schedule for everyone else depends on their birthday
Payments for those who have not received SSDI money since 1997 or earlier follow the same schedule as Social Security. This is how it works:
- If your birthday falls between the 1st and 10th of the month, your payment will be sent on the second Wednesday of the month.
- If your birthday falls between the 11th and 20th of the month, your payment will be sent on the third Wednesday of the month.
- If your birthday falls between the 21st and 31st of the month, your payment will be sent on the fourth Wednesday of the month.
When you receive your November SSDI payment
This is the time your payment should arrive, based on your date of birth:
November 3: Payment for those who received SSDI before May 1997.
November 8: SSDI payment for people with a birthday between the 1st and 10th of a given month.
November 15: SSDI payment for people with a birthday between the 11th and the 20th of a given month.
November 22: SSDI payment for people with a birthday between the 21st and the 31st of a given month.
