Those born on or before the 10th will receive their payment on Wednesday, March 11.

People can start receiving Social Security benefits at age 62.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; How to maximize the check: The amount depends on retirement age, total Social Security contributions, and the number of years paid into the program. In general, retiring at 62 could yield up to $2,831 per month, while retiring at 70 could reach up to $5,108 per month, according to the Social Security Administration. A personalized estimate can be obtained with the SSA calculator.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; How it\u2019s funded: Social Security is financed by payroll taxes paid by both employers and employees.
