Millions of American Social Security beneficiaries will receive a new check of approximately $1,900 on Wednesday, November 20, 2024.
This payment is part of the regular distribution by the Social Security Administration (SSA), which processes millions of payments each month to retired workers, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients, and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) beneficiaries.
Payment Schedule
The SSA follows a specific payment calendar based on beneficiaries’ birth dates to ensure accurate and organized distribution. Those born between the 1st and 10th of the month receive their payments on the second Wednesday. Beneficiaries born between the 11th and 20th receive payments on the third Wednesday, while those born between the 21st and 31st receive payments on the last Wednesday of the month.
Who Will Receive Their Check on November 20?
Beneficiaries whose birth dates fall between the 11th and 20th of the month will receive their Social Security check on Wednesday, November 20. This payment schedule ensures that all beneficiaries receive their payments promptly.
Impact of Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA)
Year after year, the SSA makes adjustments to recipients’ payments to match the amounts with current inflation, thereby avoiding purchasing losses when the inflation rate is high.
This equalization is known as the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA). In 2024, the COLA increase was 3.2%, while in 2025 it will be 2.5%. To find out how much money you will receive with the COLA increase, add 2.5% to your current amount. The increase will be reflected automatically starting with the first payment in 2025, according to En.as.com.
The upcoming $1,900 Social Security payment on November 20 is a significant event for millions of beneficiaries. Understanding the payment schedule and the impact of COLA adjustments can help recipients plan their finances better. For more detailed information, beneficiaries can visit the official SSA website.
