$943 SSI November 2024 Second Payment
The federal government offers support to older adults and people with disabilities who have little or no income source and resources with Supplemental Security Income. The Social Security Administration oversees this financial assistance as it is one of the Social Security benefits.
The SSA provides monthly assistance under the SSI benefit to eligible US citizens on the first day of every month. Based on the 2024 COLA adjustment, the recipient may receive a maximum of $943 (for individuals) and $1415 (for couples) payments. The SSI recipients must have received their November payment on 01 November 2024, but the recipients should know there is another SSI payment this month.
The second SSI payment in November 2024 is due to the SSA rules, where if the payment day falls on a public holiday or weekend, the authority will disburse the payment earlier business day and since the 01 Dec 2024 falls on Sunday, the recipient will receive their December SSI payment a little earlier on the first business day before the weekend. The recipients can expect the second SSI November payment on the following date:
- 29 November 2024 (Friday)

How does your income affect the SSI payment?
As we have mentioned, the maximum payment the SSI recipients can receive is $943 (individuals) and $1415 (couples), so the payment may vary from person to person. The SSI payment depends on your family members’ income, your income, your living situation, etc.
Your and your family’s income affects the SSI payment if you’re earning income goes above the income threshold determined under the SSI rules. According to the rules, your SSI payment is reduced by $1 for every $2 you earn from your work over the threshold. However, if your income is coming from non-work sources, such as benefits, pensions, etc. the authority reduces the payment by $1 for every $1 earned above the threshold.
Apart from your income, if you live at someone else’s house and don’t pay for the accommodation or food, your SSI payment will be lowered by $334.33. And if you receive support from local bodies’ policies, it may also reduce your SSI payout.
Changes you should report to continue receiving the SSI payments
The SSI recipients should report the following changes every month to receive the SSI payments and let the administration know to determine their payment rate for the month:
