Millions of Americans who rely on the Social Security Administration (SSA) are preparing to receive their next benefit payment, which follows the agency’s strict monthly distribution schedule. Wednesday, November 12, 2025 marks the first of three scheduled payment rounds for this month and therefore, beneficiaries are already on the lookout to see when each one is due to receive the aid.
Social Security payments are intended for a specific group of beneficiaries of retirement, disability insurance (SSDI) and survivor benefits, all of which are vital to ensuring the financial stability of the country’s most vulnerable and elderly citizens.
