September's monthly Social Security payments for retired seniors will begin this week, and the first round that is worth up to $4,555 will go out in three days.
The first wave of payments will go out on Sept. 13, the second Wednesday of the month, and it will go to people born between the first and 10th of their birth month. The second disbursement will be for retirees born between the 11th and 20th of their birth month, and it will be released on Sept. 20. The final wave of payments will go out a week later on Sept. 27, and it will be for those born on or after the 21st.
Seniors who retire at the earliest age of 62 can receive up to $2,572 each month. Those who retire at the full retirement age of 67 receive a maximum check of $3,627 per month, and those who delay their retirement to 70 can collect up to $4,555 per month, according to the Social Security Administration.
These payments are different from other checks handed out by the Social Security Administration, such as disability insurance or Supplemental Security Income. A separate group of retired seniors also sees monthly retirement payments. This group consists of seniors who receive both SSI and Social Security benefits, people who retired before 1997, and U.S. retirees who live outside of the country. Regardless of the day of the month in which they were born, people in this group received their payments on Thursday.
Possible changes to the program include restructuring how the payments go out and how much money the recipients receive, but people already on Social Security would not be affected by these changes.
