Disability benefit payments are extremely beneficial to people who have a qualifying disability. While the Social Security Administration has confirmed that there are only two SSDI checks left in November, there is a significant surprise for SSI recipients. Even if they have received their Supplemental Security Income payment in early November, the SSA has planned another paycheck for Black Friday.
This SSI payment for Black Friday was originally scheduled for December 1, but the SSA had to alter it and send it in advance. This is because December 1 is a Sunday, and the Social Security Administration’s offices and banks will be closed. To avoid any delays, SSI checks and direct deposits will be distributed on November 29, 2024. SSDI payouts, however, will not take as long.

It is crucial to note that disability benefit users who received Disability Insurance between November 1 and November 13 must wait until December for their monthly payment.
If you have not yet received your Social Security Disability Insurance payment, you may receive it on November 20 or November 27, 2024. Check eligibility below:
- SSDI payment on November 20: if your birth date falls from the 11th to the 20th
- SSDI payment on November 27: if your birth date falls from the 21st to the 31st
- SSDI payment on December 3: on benefits before May 1997 or getting SSI on Dec. 1 2024 too
Who will receive an SSDI check of $3,822 on November 20 or 27?
This hefty check or direct transfer will be for those who were able to work for 35 years and earned the taxable maximum during that time. As a result, it is unlikely to get such a significant sum.
Furthermore, you must have worked in SSA-covered jobs and filed at the required age. On average, SSDI will offer a disability benefit payment of $1,542. If your payment is too low, apply for SSI because you can get both disability benefits.
How do SSDI and SSI payments differ in terms of amount and eligibility criteria?
Funding Source:
- SSDI is funded through the Social Security Disability Trust Fund, which workers pay into via FICA taxes.
- SSI is funded by general tax revenues.
Eligibility Criteria:
- SSDI eligibility is based on your work history and having paid enough into Social Security. You must meet the SSA’s disability criteria.
- To qualify for SSI, you must have financial need, a low income, and meet the SSA’s disability criteria. It is not tied to work history.
Benefit Amount:
- SSDI payment amounts are based on the worker’s lifetime average earnings covered by Social Security. The average monthly payment in 2023 is about $1,700, up to a maximum of $3,627.
- SSI payments are determined by the Federal Benefit Rate minus countable income, plus any state supplement. The maximum federal SSI payment in 2023 is $914 for an individual and $1,371 for a couple. Average payments are around $700/month.
