First round of February Social Security payments goes out in 13 days
The first round of February Social Security retirement payments — capped this year at $5,108 for the maximum beneficiary — will be issued in 13 days. Payment schedule by birthdate: those born on or before the 10th receive payments on Feb. 11; those born between the 11th and 20th on Feb. 18; and those born on or after the 21st on Feb. 25.
Eligibility begins at age 62. Benefit amounts depend on retirement age, lifetime earnings, and years of contributions: a 62‑year‑old retiree’s maximum is about $2,831 per month, while a 70‑year‑old coudl receive up to $5,108. Recipients can use the Social Security Management’s online calculator for personalized estimates. Social Security is funded by payroll taxes from employers and employees, and analysts warn the program might potentially be unable to pay full benefits as early as 2034 unless Congress acts.

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 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, 62, 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 can expect each month through the SSA’s calculator.
How is it financed?
STEPH CURRY SAYS IT’S ‘BEAUTIFUL TO SEE THAT TURNOUT’ FROM MINNEAPOLIS PROTESTERS
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 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.
