The Social Security Administration (SSA) has scheduled payments for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) for November 2024.
While typically, individuals receive one payment for each benefit type per month, some recipients will get three payments in November due to how the payment schedule aligns.
Who Is Eligible for Both SSI and SSDI?
Certain individuals qualify to receive both SSI and SSDI if they have a disability, low income, and limited resources.
SSI is primarily for people with disabilities, blind individuals, or seniors aged 65 and older with limited income, while SSDI is for individuals with a qualifying disability who have paid enough Social Security taxes.
If you qualify for both programs, it’s possible to receive three payments in November. Here’s how:

- November 1, 2024:
- SSI Payment: This is the regular SSI payment for eligible recipients, including seniors, people with disabilities, and blind individuals.

- November 13, 20, and 27, 2024:
- SSDI Payments: For those on SSDI who don’t qualify for the November 1 SSDI payment, they will receive their payment on one of these dates, depending on their birth date.
