If you are a Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipient<\/strong>, you may have noticed that you didn’t receive a payment in November 2025. Don’t worry, this isn’t a mistake or a suspension. The November payment was simply deposited early, on Friday, October 31, 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This is perfectly normal and is in accordance with Social Security Administration (SSA)<\/strong> rules: when the first day of the month falls on a weekend or federal holiday, the SSI payment<\/strong> is moved to the last business day of the previous month.<\/p>\n

Good news for December: This month, you’ll receive two SSI payments<\/h2>\n

The first will arrive promptly on Monday, December 1, 2025<\/strong>, and is your regular December payment with the maximum 2025 federal amount. The second payment will be a year-end treat: you’ll receive it on Wednesday, December 31, 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This deposit is actually your January 2026 payment<\/strong>, which is being sent early because New Year’s is a holiday. And the best part about this second payment is that it will already include the 2.8% cost-of-living increase (COLA)<\/strong> for 2026, so you’ll see a higher deposit in your account.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because you’ll receive your January 2026 payment in December, you won’t see a new SSI deposit during January<\/strong>. It’s important to plan your finances accordingly so that the advance payment will last you through the first few weeks of the new year.<\/p>\n

Payments will return to their regular schedule<\/strong> of the first of each month (or the preceding business day) in February 2026<\/strong>, and from then on, all payments will permanently include the 2.8% increase.<\/p>\n

Knowing the new SSI amounts for 2026<\/h2>\n

It’s helpful to know the maximum federal amounts that the SSI program<\/strong> can provide. These amounts apply if you have no other countable income. For 2025, the established figures are as follows: if you are an individual, you receive $967 per month<\/strong>; if you are a couple where both qualify for the benefit, the amount is $1,450 per month<\/strong>; and if you are an essential person (a caregiver who lives with the beneficiary), the payment is $484 per month<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The SSA has already announced the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for 2026, which is 2.8%.<\/strong> This means that payments will increase slightly next year. The new maximum federal amounts for SSI in 2026 will be: for an individual, $994 per month (an increase of $27<\/strong>); for an eligible couple, $1,491 per month (an increase of $41)<\/strong>; and for an essential person, approximately $498 per month<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Remember that you’ll first see this increase<\/strong> in that special payment on December 31, 2025<\/strong>. For SSI beneficiaries, the COLA comes a little earlier than for Social Security retirement beneficiaries. Keep in mind that the final amount you receive may be lower if you report other income<\/strong>, but there’s also an added benefit: some states add a state supplement to the base payment, so check the rules in your state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
