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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/total-number-of-homes-for-sale-jumps-by-record-amount-as-housing-market-slowdown-continues\/\" title=\"Total Number of Homes for Sale Jumps by Record Amount as Housing Market Slowdown Continues\">lower monthly payments<\/a>, while delaying retirement until age 70 can yield the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >maximum monthly benefit<\/a> 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.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">First round of December Social Security payments goes out in 11 days<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2413709\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The first round of December Social Security payments for retirees, now capped at $5,108, will be issued in 11 days.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-will-payments-arrive\">When will payments arrive?<\/h2>\n<p>Retirees born on or before the 10th of a month will receive this payment <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ssa.gov\/pubs\/EN-05-10031-2025.pdf\">on Dec. 10<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3899201\/december-social-security-direct-payment-worth-967-goes-out-in-two-days\/\">December Social Security direct payment worth $967 goes out in two days<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3900591\/house-gop-capital-gains-tax-housing-affordability\/\">House GOP&rsquo;s plan to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/december-social-security-direct-payment-worth-967-goes-out-in-two-days\/\" title=\"December ... direct ... worth 7 goes out in two days\">axe capital gains tax<\/a> to address housing affordability may not be enough, strategists say<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/senate\/3899193\/hill-republicans-break-trump-lame-duck-chatter-grows\/\">Hill Republicans keep breaking with Trump as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hill-republicans-break-with-trump-as-lame-duck-chatter-grows\/\" title=\"Hill Republicans break with Trump as lame duck chatter grows\">lame duck chatter grows<\/a><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>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.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-am-i-eligible\">When am I eligible?<\/h2>\n<p>Citizens are eligible for Social Security payments beginning at 62 years old.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-can-i-maximize-my-check\">How can I maximize my check?<\/h2>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Payments largely depend on a <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ssa.gov\/news\/press\/factsheets\/colafacts2025.pdf\">recipient&rsquo;s retirement age<\/a>.
