Social Security’s December Payment Schedule Will Also Change – SSI Affected

Social Security users get a single payment from the Social Security Administration (SSA) every month on the first business day.

This November will be a little different. Supplemental Security Income recipients will not receive a payment in December, but next month they can expect to receive three different payments from the SSA.

Due to a mix-up, people who get Social Security will get two Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payouts on November 1, in addition to their monthly check.

But keep in mind that the SSA will not pay SSI payments in December because the first day of the month is a holiday. In any case, they will still get an advance SSI check because January 1 is a holiday.

In charge of running the SSI program is the SSA. The program helps people who are blind, at least 65 years old, or have a qualifying disability and do not have a lot of money or other means. SSI payments are usually given out on the first business day of every month.

Approximately $2,000 in New Social Security Checks Have Been Confirmed: These Are the Mailing Dates

This year, December 1st falls on a Sunday, so SSI applicants can expect to get their December payment on November 29. At first glance, an extra monthly payment might seem like a good idea.

However, this difference in timing could affect the budgets of SSI recipients, and the 2025 SSI distribution plan shows even more strange scheduling issues. For example, this year, people who get SSI got two checks in August but none in September.

This is similar to what happened in November when there was a problem with the planned payment.

The Social Security Administration had to send out more than 70 million payments every month, so they made an annual payment plan to keep people up to date on when each program was.

If you take out the weekends and holidays, this calendar shows that SSI users get their checks on the first of the month. Below is a list of all the upcoming payment times, including the double SSI payment in November.

Remember that if your SSI payment does not arrive on the due date, you should wait at least three mail days before calling Social Security’s customer service line.

Social Security checks will be raised by 2.5% due to the COLA increase next year

On Thursday, October 10, the Social Security Administration (SSA) announced a number of changes that will take place in 2025. The first of these changes is a cost-of-living Adjustment  (COLA) of 2.5%.

This increase to Social Security in 2025 is projected to add an extra $50 a month starting in January 2026.

Even though the news of a coming pay raise is mostly good, the 2025 Social Security increase is a lot less than the SSA’s average COLA increase of 2.6% over the past ten years.

The second change the SSA has stated for 2025 is that people with high incomes will have to pay more into Social Security.

Starting in 2024, the “taxable maximum,” or the most money that is taxed by Social Security, will go up by $7,500 next year.

The suggested increase from a maximum taxable income of $176,100 to $168,600 is because wages and prices are going up. The amounts that people will get from each service in 2025 are shown below:
