Some Social Security recipients will notice an unusual pattern in their payments this year. They’ll receive two Supplemental Security Income (SSI) checks in November but none in December. This payment schedule is due to how the Social Security Administration (SSA) handles payment dates when the first of the month falls on a weekend or holiday.

Supplemental Security Income beneficiaries will receive two benefit checks in November this year but none the following month.

The Social Security schedule shows SSI beneficiaries are set to get two payments for the month of November, because of the system's calendar.

Supplemental Security Income recipients typically receive their checks on the first of each month, but in November this year, a second check will also come at the end. That's because of a rule where if the first of the month falls on a holiday or weekend, the checks are delivered the previous weekday.
