The second round goes out Feb. 18 for those born between the 11th and 20th, and the third round on Feb. 25 for people born on or after the 21st. Citizens become eligible for benefits at age 62. Payment amounts depend on retirement age, lifetime earnings and years of contributions; a retiree claiming at the youngest age could receive up too about $2,831 per month, while a 70-year-old could receive up to $5,108.
