Payments arrive on different dates based on birth dates: those born on or before the 10th receive them on April 8, those born the 11th-20th receive them on April 15, and those born on the 21st or later on April 22. Eligibility begins at age 62, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >amount users receive depends<\/a> on retirement age, contributions, and years paid into Social Security (e.g., up to $2,969 per month at age 62 and up to $5,181 at age 70). Recipients can use the SSA calculator for a personalized estimate.
