The second distribution will go to retirees one week later on June 21, and it will go to those born between the 11th and 20th of a month. The final wave will go out on June 28, the final Wednesday of the month. It will go to those born after the 21st of a month.
The amount of money each recipient gets differs depending on a recipient’s age at retirement. Recipients who retire at 62 get up to $2,572, those who retire at 67 receive a maximum check of $3,627, and those who delay retirement until 70 get the highest payment of $4,555 per month, according to the SSA.
Recipients could see a decrease in their payments if Congress does not figure out how the program will be funded in the future. Discussions on the future of Social Security have occurred in Congress for years, but experts have warned that the program could be insolvent in 10 years if nothing is done.
