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.
