Those born between the 11th and 20th will receive theirs on Wednesday, March 18. The first round went to people born on or before the 10th (March 11), and the third round will go to those born on or after the 21st (March 25). Eligibility starts at age 62. The payment amount depends on retirement age, earnings, and years paid into Social Security; for example, a 62-year-old could receive up to about $2,831 monthly, while a 70-year-old could reach up to $5,108 monthly. The SSA offers a calculator for a personalized estimate. Social Security is funded by payroll taxes from employers and employees.
