The November Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments worth up to $994 will be sent out early this month due to the first day of November falling on a Sunday. Recipients will receive their benefits on October 30, as SSI checks are typically issued on the first day of each month or the last business day of the prior month if that date falls on a federal holiday. This calendar quirk means recipients will see two payments in October, with one being for November's benefit amount. The additional payment is not extra cash but rather an early disbursement to avoid weekends. Recipients can expect another early check this year in December because January 1 also falls on a Sunday.
