SSI & SNAP Payments To Align On November 1 In These States: What You Need To Know

For many low-income individuals relying on Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, receiving payments on the same day can make a significant difference.

This is particularly important for those living on tight budgets who depend on these programs to cover essential living expenses like food and housing.

In November 2024, recipients of SSI can look forward to two payments: one on November 1 and another on November 29, which covers December’s payment in advance. This happens because December 1 falls on a weekend, and the payment is issued early.

Meanwhile, the SNAP benefits, commonly referred to as Food Stamps, will also be sent out starting November 1 in several states, with some states delivering all their SNAP benefits on this day, making it a unified payday for both SSI and SNAP recipients.

SSI & SNAP Payment on November 1

The Social Security Administration (SSA) has confirmed that the SSI check for November will be issued on November 1, 2024. Likewise, the USDA Food and Nutrition Service has provided a list of states that will start issuing SNAP benefits on November 1.

States Delivering Both SNAP and SSI Payments on November 1

Some states will send all their SNAP benefits on November 1, meaning recipients will receive both SSI and SNAP payments on the same day:

• Alaska
• Vermont
• North Dakota
• Rhode Island
• U.S. Virgin Islands
