The first round of August’s Social Security payments, worth up to $4,873 for the highest-income earners who retire at age 70, will go out to the first group of retirees on Wednesday.
Here is everything you need to know about this month’s Social Security payments, which go out in three rounds.
What is it?
The Social Security Act was signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1935. The Social Security Administration was created to manage it. The agency sends monthly checks to retirees to reduce or replace their incomes once they stop working.
When does the check arrive?
Social Security payments typically begin on the second Wednesday of every month, and the following waves go out in the subsequent weeks. The distribution of payments depends on which day of the month a retiree was born.
Retirees born between the 1st and 10th of a month receive their payments on Wednesday. Beneficiaries born between the 11th and 20th of a month received their checks on Aug. 21, and retirees born on or after the 21st of a month will receive their payments on Aug. 28.
How can I maximize my check?
Beneficiaries receive different amounts depending on when they retire, the amount paid into Social Security, and the number of years paid into Social Security.
Payments largely depend on recipients’ retirement age. According to the SSA, retiring at the youngest age, 62, allows up to $2,710 per month, while delaying retirement until 70 can allot up to $4,873 per month.
Beneficiaries can see a personalized estimate of how much they can expect each month through the SSA’s calculator.
When am I eligible?
Citizens are eligible for Social Security payments beginning at 62 years old.
How is it financed?

Social Security is financed by a payroll tax paid by employers and employees.
Social Security payment amounts are set to shrink unless Congress takes action to prevent it. Analysts estimate the SSA will no longer be able to give out full payments to recipients as early as 2034 due to a rising number of retirees and a shrinking number of workers.
