The payment schedule is as follows: the first round went out on March 11 for those born on or before the 10th; the second round on March 18 for those born between the 11th and 20th; and the third round on March 25 for those born on or after the 21st. Eligibility to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >receive payments begins<\/a> at age 62. <\/p>\n<p>How much retirees receive depends on retirement age, earnings history, and years paying into Social Security. For example, a retiree who takes benefits at the earliest age could receive about $2,831 per month, while delaying to age 70 could yield up to around $5,108 per month. The SSA provides a calculator for personalized estimates. <\/p>\n<p>The programme is financed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/social-security-update-second-round-of-direct-payments-worth-up-to-4555-arrives-wednesday\/\" title=\"... update: Second ... of direct ...s worth up to ,555 arrives Wednesday\">payroll taxes paid<\/a> by employers and employees. Analysts warn that Social Security benefits may have to be reduced or shortened if Congress does not act, with some estimates suggesting the trust fund could be unable to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/social-security-is-going-broke-in-13-years\/\" title=\"...
