Eligibility for the Average Payment of $1,841
To qualify for the average payment of approximately $1,841, your date of birth must fall between the 1st and the 10th of the month. Those with birthdates outside this range will not be eligible for the November Social Security payment.

Starting in January 2023, the Social Security Administration initiated the distribution of checks averaging $1,841 to retirees, disabled individuals, and widows aged 62 and older. Some recipients have received higher payments, reaching up to $4,555 in 2023 at age 70. To qualify for this higher payment, you must have worked for at least 35 years, retired at age 70, and possess an exceptional earnings history.
The First November Social Security Payment
November 8 is the date earmarked for the first Social Security payment in November, and millions of retired Americans across the United States will receive their initial payment.
Note on SSI Payments
It’s important to recall that on November 1, SSI (Supplemental Security Income) payments were issued, as there were no payments in October due to them being advanced to September 29.
Additional Support for Low-Income Recipients
If you receive retirement or disability benefits and your payment is relatively small, you may qualify for SSI, which provides supplementary financial assistance to low-income Americans. It’s advisable not to delay and apply for additional financial support as soon as possible.
