The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program, managed by the Social Security Administration (SSA), has completed all its payments for October. The only SSI disbursement this month was made on October 1, marking both the first and last payment for October.
When is the Next SSI Payment?

The SSA has confirmed the date for the next SSI payment. Over 7.5 million recipients in the U.S. will receive their payments on November 1. Since all recipients receive their payments on the same day, it makes it easier to remember the payday.
However, there can be occasional changes, and the SSA may issue SSI payments earlier than scheduled. For November, the payment will occur on the first day of the month.
Double Payment for Some SSI Recipients
Some SSI recipients also qualify for additional benefits, such as retirement or disability benefits through Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). Typically, recipients of retirement or SSDI benefits receive their checks or direct deposits on the third of the month.
However, because November 3 falls on a Sunday—when banks and Social Security offices are closed—the SSA has moved these payments to November 1.
As a result, individuals who qualify for both SSI and Social Security retirement or SSDI benefits will receive both payments on the same day, November 1.
This early payment could significantly aid those in need, helping them manage expenses, pay off debts, or purchase essential items sooner than anticipated.
