Payments for those born on or before the 10th of the month were distributed on August 12,while those born between the 11th and 20th received theirs on August 19. Retirees become eligible for Social Security benefits at age 62, with payments varying based on factors such as retirement age and the amount contributed over the years. Retiring earlier results in lower payments, with amounts up to $2,969 at age 62 and up to $5,181 at age 70. Beneficiaries can estimate their potential monthly benefits using the SSA calculator. Social Security is funded through payroll taxes paid by employers and employees, but unless Congress acts, its funds are projected to be tired by 2032 due to demographic shifts.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The third round of August Social Security payments for retirees, now capped at $5,181, will be issued on Wednesday, Aug. 26.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-when-will-payments-arrive\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">When will payments arrive?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Retirees born on or after the 21st of a month will receive this payment on <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ssa.gov\/pubs\/EN-05-10031-2026.pdf\">Aug. 26<\/a>.<\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/4683414\/third-round-august-social-security-payments-goes-out-three-days\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Third round of August Social Security payments goes out in three days<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/4677752\/september-social-security-direct-payment-10-days\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>September Social Security direct payment worth $994 goes out in 10 days<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/4683453\/third-round-august-social-security-payments\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Third round of August Social Security payments goes out in four days<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first round went out on Aug. 12 to those born on or before the 10th of a month, and the second round went out on Aug. 19 to those born between the 11th and 20th of a month.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-15\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<h2 id=\"h-when-am-i-eligible\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">When am I eligible?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Citizens are eligible for Social Security payments beginning at age 62.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-how-can-i-maximize-my-check\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can I maximize my check?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Social Security payment amounts are determined by several factors, including age of retirement, the amount paid into Social Security, and the number of years paid into Social Security.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Payments<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ssa.gov\/news\/en\/cola\/factsheets\/2026.html\"> largely depend on a recipient\u2019s retirement age<\/a>.
