When will Social Security benefits be deposited in November 2025? SSI and SSDI schedule

November will bring several payments for people who depend on Social Security. More than 70 million Americans are expected to receive their benefits, and despite the government shutdown, they will continue to be delivered in the same way and on the same dates as they are usually done every month.

Due to the magnitude of the program, payments are not issued all at once, but are spread throughout the month according to a fixed schedule. It is crucial for beneficiaries to know the exact dates, as a significant group, those receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI), will see their November payment brought forward to October 31, because the first day of the month falls on a weekend.

Most SSA payments are made on Wednesdays of the month and are distributed according to the beneficiary’s date of birth. However, there are also SSI and SSDI payments, so it is important to have all the information at hand.

Who is eligible for Social Security benefits?

The Social Security Administration (SSA) administers several types of benefits for different groups of people. These are the groups that receive payments throughout the month:

• Retirement benefits: Workers who have accumulated enough credits (usually 40 credits, which is about 10 years of work) and have reached at least the minimum age of 62.
• Disability benefits (SSDI): People who have a disability or blindness that prevents them from working and who have accumulated a sufficient amount of work credits.
• Survivor benefits.
• Supplemental Security Income (SSI): This is a program administered by the SSA, but funded by general funds.

What is the Social Security payment schedule?

• Friday, October 31: SSI (Supplemental Security Income) payments.
• Monday, November 3: Social Security benefits for those who also collect SSI or who have been collecting benefits since before May 1997.
• Wednesday, November 12: Retirement benefits for those born between the 1st and 10th of any calendar month.
• Wednesday, November 19: Benefits for those born between the 11th and 20th.
• Wednesday, November 26: Benefits for those with birthdays between the 21st and 31st.

How does a government shutdown affect Social Security payments?

The government shutdown, which has been going on for some time and will be the second longest in history, does not directly affect Social Security payments, as this service is mandatory and an immediate priority, so in these weeks and into November, it will continue to operate normally.
