Social Security payments are important for retirees in the U.S., helping them cover monthly expenses. However, not everyone gets their money at the same time. The payment schedule depends on when you were born and the type of benefits you receive. Let’s break down who qualifies for payments this week, how much they could get, and what the upcoming schedule looks like.
Eligibility for Social Security Payments on November 27
If you haven’t received your Social Security payment for November yet, you might qualify for a payment on November 27. But to qualify, you must meet these conditions:
- Your date of birth is between the 21st and 31st of any month.
- You are retired and receive regular Social Security benefits, not SSI (Supplemental Security Income) or pre-May 1997 benefits.
Who Doesn’t Qualify?
The November 27 payment won’t apply to:
- People who get SSI.
- Retirees who started receiving benefits before May 1997.
How Much Money Will Retirees Get?
The amount of Social Security you receive depends on factors like your work history, earnings, and the age you applied for benefits. Here’s a quick breakdown:
- Filed at Age 62: You could get up to $2,710 per month.
- Filed at Full Retirement Age: Your monthly payment could reach $3,822.
- Filed at Age 70: Payments could go as high as $4,873.
On average, retirees in 2024 get $1,924 per month, but your exact payment depends on how long you worked and your total lifetime earnings.
What Happens After November 27?
If you aren’t eligible for the November 27 payment, don’t worry. Social Security follows a schedule, and your payment might come in December. Here’s the plan for next month:
- December 3: For those who began receiving benefits before May 1997 or receive SSI.
- November 29, 2024: SSI payments for December, sent early due to SSA office closures on December 1.
- December 11, 18, and 24: Regular Social Security payments for retirees, based on their birthdates.
