Third round of November Social Security payments goes out today
The third round of November Social Security payments is being issued today, with the maximum monthly payment capped at $5,108. Retirees born on or after the 21st of a month will recieve their payments on wednesday, November 26. The first two rounds of payments where distributed earlier in the month based on retirees’ birth dates. Eligibility for Social Security payments begins at age 62, with the amount depending on factors such as retirement age, total contributions, and years paid into the system. For example, retiring at 62 could yield up to $2,831 per month, while retiring at 70 could provide the maximum benefit of $5,108. Payments are funded through payroll taxes from employers and employees. However, unless Congress intervenes, Social Security payments are expected to decrease starting around 2034 due to demographic shifts with more retirees and fewer workers. Beneficiaries can use the Social Security Administration’s online calculator to estimate their personalized monthly benefits.

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.
