Recipients born on or after the 21st of a month will receive this payment on Jan. 28; earlier rounds went out on Jan. 14 (born on or before the 10th) and Jan. 21 (born between the 11th and 20th).

Retiring at 62 can yield up to about $2,831 per month, while waiting until 70 can raise the maximum to about $5,108. Beneficiaries can get personalized estimates from the SSA&#8217;s online calculator. Social Security is funded by payroll taxes, and analysts warn the program may be unable to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >pay full benefits<\/a> as early as 2034 unless Congress acts.  <\/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\">Third round of January Social Security payments goes out in five 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_2478553\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The third round of January Social Security payments for retirees, now capped at $5,108, will be issued in five 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 after the 21st of a month will receive this payment <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ssa.gov\/pubs\/EN-05-10031-2026.pdf\">on Jan. 28<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/4425858\/february-social-security-direct-payment-worth-994-seven-days\/\">February Social Security direct payment worth $994 goes out in seven days<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/congressional\/4430445\/democrats-push-to-blacklist-ice-agents-from-future-government-jobs\/\">Democrats push to blacklist ICE agents from future government jobs<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4430710\/trump-2024-coalition-midterm-elections\/\">Is Trump&#8217;s 2024 coalition coming apart ahead of the midterm elections?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>The first round of payments went out on Jan. 14 to recipients born on or before the 10th of a month, and the second round went out on Jan. 21 to those born between the 11th and 20th of a month.<\/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 age of retirement, the amount paid into Social Security, and the number of years paid into Social Security.<\/p>\n<p>Payments <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ssa.gov\/news\/press\/factsheets\/colafacts2025.pdf\">largely depend on a recipient&rsquo;s retirement age<\/a>.
