Recipients born on or before the 10th of a month will get their payment on Jan. 14; those born between the 11th and 20th receive payments on Jan. 21; and people born after the 21st get theirs on Jan. 28. Citizens become eligible for retirement benefits starting at age 62. Benefit amounts depend on factors such as retirement age, lifetime earnings, and years of contributions-roughly up to $2,831 at age 62 and up to $5,108 at age 70-with personalized estimates available via the SSA&#8217;s calculator.
