Social Security will send two checks for some recipients in November

Some people who receive Social Security will receive an extra check next month.

USA Today reported that it is because of the calendar and how payments are scheduled.

People on Social Security who also get a Supplemental Security Income (SSI) check will get two SSI payments.

SSI is for disabled adults and senior citizens who are low-income, CBS News reported.

Typically, they are sent on the first business day of each month. So the payment will go out as usual on Nov. 1 which is a Friday. But since Dec. 1 is on a Sunday, the December checks will go out on Nov. 29.

The same thing happens at the end of the year when Jan. 1 is on Saturday, so SSI checks will go out on Dec. 31. February payments will go out on Jan. 31, and March 1 payments will be sent on Feb. 28.
