The second round of June’s Social Security payments, worth up to $5,108 for the highest-income earners who retire at age 70, will be distributed in three days.
Here is all you need to know about June’s Social Security payments.
When will the check arrive?
Social Security payments usually begin on the second Wednesday of every month, with the following waves going out in the subsequent weeks. The distribution of payments depends on which day of the month a retiree was born.
Retirees born on or before the 10th of a month received their payments on June 11. Those born between the 11th and 20th of any month will receive their checks on June 18, and those born on or after the 21st of any month will receive their benefits on June 25.
How can I maximize my check?
Retirement age, the amount paid into Social Security, and the number of years paid into Social Security all affect how much beneficiaries receive from the program.
Payments largely depend on a recipient’s retirement age. Retiring at the youngest age, 62, allows recipients to claim up to $2,831 per month, while delaying retirement until age 70 can give one up to $5,108 per month, according to the Social Security Administration.
Beneficiaries can see a personalized estimate of how much they can expect each month via the SSA’s calculator.
