So far in November, the SSA has already sent four rounds of payments. On November 1, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits were sent, while the other three rounds of payments for the month were sent out on November 3, 8 and 15.
According to official information from the Social Security Administration (SSA), nearly 70 million payments are issued every month. The agency sends benefits month after month to retired workers and survivors; that is, to the children, spouses, widows, widowers or parents of a deceased beneficiary. The SSA also sends disability benefits to those who fall under the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program and those who collect Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI).
Who received $1,800 from Social Security on November 22?
In 2023, the average payments for retirees have been $1,848, according to the SSA. The maximum benefit for those who retire at age 62 is $2,572 per month, $3,627 for workers who retire at full retirement age (67 years for those born in 1960 or later) and $4,555 for those who retire at age 70 or after.
The payment schedule for benefits depends on which type of benefits you receive as well as when you began claiming benefits and on what calendar date you were born. The payments that correspond to the 22 of November are for disability, reitrement, spouse and survivor beneficiaries born between the 21st and 31st of a given month that began claiming after May 1997 and don’t also receive SSI benefits.
The schedule for November Social Security payments is as follows:
- 1st: SSI beneficiary
- 3rd: Beneficiaries who began receiving their payments before May 1997 and those who receive Social Security and SSI
- 8th: Beneficiaries with a date of birth from the 1st to the 10th
- 15th: Beneficiaries with a date of birth from the 11th to the 20th
- 22nd: Beneficiaries with a date of birth from the 21st to the 31st
Payments are sent via direct deposit to those who have provided a bank account to the Social Security Administration, which is now federally mandated since 2013. Less than one percent still receive their payment as a paper check via postal mail, which may take additional days to arrive.
The Social Security Administration recommends that those who still receive their benefits in the mail sign up for direct deposit either at their local office or using my Social Security account.
According to the SSA, if you don’t receive your payment when you expect it, wait three days to give allowance for additional shipping needs before contacting Social Security.
