SSDI Recipients to Receive Two Direct Deposits on Same Day in November
According to Vibes.okdiario, In November 2024, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) recipients will receive one of four scheduled payments. To qualify, individuals must meet specific eligibility criteria and have been approved by the Social Security Administration (SSA). Here’s a detailed breakdown of the upcoming payments and important information for SSDI and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients.
SSDI and SSI: Understanding the November Payments
Disability benefits in the U.S. are distributed through two main programs: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). While both programs provide financial assistance to those with disabilities, their payment schedules occasionally overlap. In November, some recipients may receive payments from both SSDI and SSI on the same day.
November 1, 2024: SSI and SSDI Payments
- SSI Recipients: All SSI recipients will receive their monthly payment on November 1, 2024. This payment will be issued as a check or direct deposit from the federal government.
- SSDI Recipients: If you typically receive your SSDI payment on November 3, it will be issued earlier due to scheduling changes. Since November 3 is not a business day, the SSA has moved this payment to November 1.
Why Are SSDI Payments Being Rescheduled?
Since November 3 falls on a weekend, the SSA cannot process SSDI payments on that day. As a result, eligible SSDI recipients will receive their payment on the previous business day, which is Friday, November 1, 2024.
Two Payments on November 1: SSDI and SSI
Some recipients may receive two direct deposits on November 1—one for SSDI and one for SSI. To qualify for both payments, you must:
- Be eligible for both SSI and SSDI.
- Meet all Social Security requirements to remain eligible.
- Avoid any violations of Social Security rules that could affect your benefits.

No COLA Increase in November Payments
It’s important to note that the November payments for both SSDI and SSI will not include the 2.5% Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) announced by Social Security on October 10. The COLA will not take effect until later in the year:
- SSI recipients will receive the COLA increase on December 31, 2024.
- SSDI recipients will receive their COLA-adjusted payment in January 2025.
Payment Amounts: SSI and SSDI in 2024
The actual payment amounts for SSI and SSDI vary based on individual circumstances. Here’s a breakdown of typical payments:
- SSDI Recipients: The maximum SSDI payment is up to $3,822 per month, but the average SSDI payment is closer to $1,539.
- SSI Recipients: SSI payments can be as high as $943 per individual, with average payments around $698. Eligible married couples can receive up to $1,415 from SSI.
COLA-Adjusted Payments in 2025
After the COLA boost:
- SSI recipients can receive up to $967 as individuals or $1,450 as eligible couples in 2025.
- SSDI recipients will also see an increase based on the 2.5% COLA, with adjusted payments starting in January 2025.
