The first round, capped at $5,108, will be issued in six days. Payments are distributed by birth date: those born on or before the 10th receive funds on march 11; those born between the 11th and 20th get paid on March 18; and those born on or after the 21st receive on March 25. Eligibility starts at age 62. How much you can receive depends on retirement age, how much you contributed to Social security, and how many years you worked; for example, a 62-year-old could receive up to $2,831 per month, while a 70-year-old could receive up to $5,108 per month. A personalized estimate is available via the SSA calculator.
