In practice, this means two deposits in a few days. The SSI amount is reduced by the Social Security check after a $20 exclusion, as we explained in our article about <a href=\"https:\/\/tododisca.es\/en\/ssi-social-security-concurrent-994-to-714-income-exclusions-2026\/\">receiving both benefits<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In November there will be an exception: the SSI payment arrives early, on October 30, so these recipients will only receive the Social Security deposit of November 3 during the month.<\/p>\n<h2>Next dates for this group<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Tuesday, November 3<\/strong> | November payment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Thursday, December 3<\/strong> | December payment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Thursday, December 31<\/strong> | January 2027 payment, already with the 3.6% COLA.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This group will therefore be among the first to receive the increase, together with SSI recipients.
