Why Social Security Payments Are Not Issued on Thanksgiving Day
According to Vibes.okdiario The Social Security Administration (SSA) will not issue monthly payments on Thanksgiving Day, November 28, 2024, due to the Federal Holiday. As a result, Social Security beneficiaries will receive their checks or direct deposits on the preceding business day.
Why No Social Security Payments on Thanksgiving Day?
There are two main reasons why Social Security does not issue payments on Thanksgiving:
- Federal Holiday: Thanksgiving is a recognized Federal Holiday, and SSA does not process payments on these days.
- Payment Schedule: SSA delivers the last three monthly payments of November on Wednesdays, ensuring that recipients receive their money on time.

Social Security Payments Before Thanksgiving
For November 2024, Social Security payments will be issued on the 13th, 20th, and 27th. These payments are for retirees and SSDI recipients who meet the birthday eligibility requirement:
- November 13: Birthdays from the 1st to the 10th
- November 20: Birthdays from the 11th to the 20th
- November 27: Birthdays from the 21st to the 31st
Payments After Thanksgiving
After Thanksgiving, SSA will send out the final payments for the month on November 29. This payment will be for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients, with eligible individuals receiving up to $943.
By scheduling payments before and after Thanksgiving, SSA ensures timely delivery without disruptions caused by the holiday.
