Third round of February Social Security payments goes out in one day
Teh article reports that the third round of February Social Security payments for retirees, capped at $5,108 per month, will be issued in a single day. The payments’ arrival dates depend on birth dates: those born on or before the 10th received payments on February 11; those born between the 11th and 20th on February 18; and those born on or after the 21st will receive payments on February 25. The piece notes that the first and second rounds were distributed earlier in February.
It covers eligibility and how to maximize benefits: eligibility begins at age 62, and the monthly amount depends on retirement age and total contributions to Social Security. The maximum could be around $2,831 at age 62, or up to $5,108 at age 70. Beneficiaries can use the SSA calculator for personalized estimates. The article also explains how Social Security is financed—through payroll taxes from employers and employees—and warns that payments could shrink if Congress does not act, with some analyses suggesting the SSA may not be able to issue full payments as early as 2034 due to demographic shifts.

When am I eligible?
Citizens are eligible for Social Security benefits beginning at age 62.
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.

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 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.
