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.
February payments will go out on Jan. 31, and March 1 payments will be sent on Feb. 28.

CBS News reported that people who claimed Social Security before May 1997 will also get their payment early. Instead of it coming on Sunday, Nov. 3, it will be sent on Friday, Nov. 1 Other Social Security recipients will get their payments when they typically do, based on their birthday.
Editor’s note: A previous version had an incorrect day of the week for January’s payment. The SSI payment for January will occur on Tuesday Dec. 31.
