October 2026 Benefit Schedule: Early Payments for SSI and Long-Term Recipients

The Social Security Administration is issuing October 2026 benefits ahead of schedule for two specific groups due to weekend and holiday calendar conflicts. On Friday, October 2, payments will be sent to recipients who began receiving benefits before May 1997 and those who also receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Additionally, SSI recipients will receive their November payment early on October 30 because November 1 falls on a Sunday. The SSA confirmed that the average monthly retirement benefit is $2,033.27, while the average SSI payment is $738.73. The annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for 2027 is expected to be announced on October 14, with experts forecasting a 3.5% increase.
