The frist round, capped at $5,108 per month, will be issued in 12 days. Payments will go out by birthdate: March 11 for those born on or before the 10th, March 18 for those born the 11th\u201320th, and march 25 for those born the 21st or later. A second round is scheduled for March 18 (<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >11th\u201320th births<\/a>) and a third for March 25 (21st and later births).<\/p>\n<p>Eligibility begins at age 62, and the amount depends on retirement age, the amount paid into Social Security, and years of contributions. For example, a person retiring at 62 could receive up to about $2,831 per month, while a 70-year-old could receive up to $5,108 per month.The SSA provides a calculator for personalized estimates.
