The November Supplemental Security Income check, worth up to $943 for individual filers, will be sent to eligible recipients in a few weeks.

The Social Security Administration will issue SSI payments to eligible citizens on Nov. 1, in accordance with the agency’s mandate that these benefits be given to recipients by the first day of the month. The program pays those living with debilitating disabilities that may affect their income.

This requirement for recipients to get their checks by the first of the month means that when the first day of a month falls on a weekend or a holiday, the SSA issues SSI checks the business day prior. This will also happen for December’s scheduled payment and multiple times in 2025.

The amount SSI checks are worth for beneficiaries depends on their status. Individuals can receive monthly payments of up to $914, and eligible couples can receive up to $1,415. Essential persons who live with someone receiving SSI and provide them with necessary care can receive monthly payments of up to $472 from the program.

The SSA sent the first SSI payments to recipients in January 1974, and payment rates have been adjusted in line with the cost of living since 1975, according to the SSA.

SSI checks are different from other payments sent out by the SSA.

Regular Social Security payments, mainly for retirees, are issued on a different schedule each month from SSI payments and are dependent on the recipient’s day of birth. Those checks are sent in three waves each month.
