When November Social Security checks are set to be paid

(NewsNation) — Social Security payments are being sent to millions of beneficiaries this month, though some people will get their money earlier than usual because of a federal holiday in November.

The Social Security Administration typically pays benefits according to recipients’ birth dates, with most payments arriving on the second, third or fourth Wednesday of the month.

Here is the expected schedule for November payments.

For beneficiaries born from the 1st through the 10th, payments are generally issued on the second Wednesday of the month.

Those with birthdays from the 11th through the 20th are usually paid on the third Wednesday of the month.

People born between the 21st and the 31st normally receive their benefits on the fourth Wednesday of the month.

This month, however, the schedule changes because Veterans Day falls on the second Wednesday. Since it is a federal holiday, recipients who would ordinarily be paid that day will instead receive their benefits one day earlier.

More than 75 million people in the United States receive Social Security benefits. The program provides monthly payments to retired workers, people with qualifying disabilities and eligible surviving family members.

Supplemental Security Income offers monthly payments to people with little or no income and limited resources who qualify because of disability, blindness or age.

Although both programs are run by the SSA, they use different payment schedules.
