Social Security recipients typically receive one payment each month, but some older Americans could receive an additional check in November due to the way the calendar falls in the last two months of the year.
While the issue isn't new — the Social Security Administration sets its annual payment schedule well in advance of the year — it could take some seniors by surprise next month if they weren't aware of the unusual schedule.
People who could receive an extra check in November are those who receive Social Security's Supplemental Security Income, or SSI, a program for disabled adults and low-income seniors. Some of those SSI recipients also receive monthly Social Security benefits, the traditional retirement income that is available to people once they turn 62.
