Millions of Social Security recipients are set to get their next monthly retirement payments, worth an average of $1,631 per check, in 12 days.
People who receive Social Security and were born from the 1st through the 10th of their birth months will receive their regular checks on Dec. 14, with those who have birth dates from the 11th through the 31st of a month set to receive their monthly checks later in December.Regular Social Security payments are based on earnings throughout a person's lifetime and have no limits based on income or resources.
These checks differ from other payments distributed by the agency, such as disability insurance or Supplemental Security Income. The SSI checks are set to be paid out to eligible beneficiaries next on Dec. 30. The monthly retirement benefits are paid to beneficiaries in three waves, with all three occurring on Wednesdays. The waves of payments are divided by the birthdays of the recipients.
The second wave of payments is always sent out on the third Wednesday of each month to those born on the 11th through 20th of their birth months, with this month's payment set to be sent to that group on Dec. 21. The third wave of checks will be sent out on the fourth Wednesday of this month, Dec. 28, for those born on the 21st through 31st of their birth months, according to the SSA.
