Payments are distributed based on birthdate: those born on or after the 21st will receive theirs on March 25, while the first round went out on March 11 (for those born on or before the 10th) and the second round on March 18 (for those born from the 11th to the 20th). Eligibility begins at age 62,and the monthly amount depends on retirement age and lifetime contributions,with as little as $2,831 at age 62 and up to $5,108 at age 70.
