The frist round went out on December 10 for those born on or before the 10th, and the third round is scheduled for December 24 for retirees born on or after the 21st. Eligible citizens must be at least 62 years old to receive Social Security benefits. The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >payment amount depends<\/a> on factors such as retirement age, contributions made, and years paid into the system. For exmaple, retiring at 62 could yield up to $2,831 per month, while retiring at 70 could increase the benefit to $5,108 per month.
