First round of December Social Security payments out in 11 days
The first round of December Social Security payments for retirees, capped at $5,108, will be issued in 11 days. Retirees born on or before the 10th of a month will receive their payment on December 10. The second round of payments, for those born between the 11th and 20th, will be sent on December 17, and the third round, for those born on or after the 21st, on December 24. Eligibility for Social Security benefits starts at age 62. Payment amounts depend on factors such as retirement age, lifetime contributions, and years worked. Retiring earlier results in lower monthly payments, while delaying retirement until age 70 can yield the maximum monthly benefit of $5,108. Social Security is funded through payroll taxes from employers and employees. Though, unless Congress intervenes, payment amounts may decrease as soon as 2034 due to demographic shifts involving more retirees and fewer workers.

Retirees born on or before the 10th of a month will receive this payment on Dec. 10.
The second round of payments will go out on Dec. 17 for retirees born between the 11th and 20th, and the third round will follow on Dec. 24 for retirees born on or after the 21st.
When am I eligible?
Citizens are eligible for Social Security payments beginning at 62 years old.
How can I maximize my check?
Social Security payment amounts are determined by several factors, including the age of retirement, the amount paid into Social Security, and the number of years paid into Social Security.
Payments largely depend on a recipient’s retirement age. A beneficiary retiring at the youngest age could receive up to $2,831 per month, while a 70-year-old retiree could receive up to $5,108 per month, according to the Social Security Administration.
Beneficiaries can see a personalized estimate of how much they could expect each month through the SSA’s calculator.

How is it financed?
Social Security is financed by a payroll tax paid for by employers and employees.
Social Security payment amounts are set to shrink unless Congress takes action to prevent it. Analysts estimate that the SSA will no longer be able to issue full payments as early as 2034, due to a rising number of retirees and a shrinking number of workers.
