First round of February Social Security goes out in 11 days
The first round of February Social Security payments is scheduled for Feb. 11 for retirees born on or before the 10th of a month. The second round goes out Feb. 18 for those born between the 11th and 20th, and the third round on Feb. 25 for people born on or after the 21st. Citizens become eligible for benefits at age 62. Payment amounts depend on retirement age, lifetime earnings and years of contributions; a retiree claiming at the youngest age could receive up too about $2,831 per month, while a 70-year-old could receive up to $5,108. Beneficiaries can get personalized estimates using the SSA’s online calculator. Social Security is financed through payroll taxes, but analysts warn the system may not be able to pay full benefits as early as 2034 unless Congress acts.

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 workforce.
