Social Security update: In 6 days, $4,873 in second-round February benefits will be distributed

In less than a week, qualifying retirees will receive their second wave of the 3 Social Security payments for February, which can total up to $4,873 for the top earners who retire at age 70.

The Social Security Administration’s calendar indicates that retired seniors who were born on or between the eleventh and twentieth of their birth month will get their 2nd payment on Wednesday, February 21.

Pensioners born on or after February 21st will receive their benefits on Wednesday, February 28. On the other hand, pensioners born between February 1st and February 10th received their benefits on February 14th.

The maximum amount that each individual is eligible to receive depends on a variety of circumstances, including their age at retirement, the sum they spent on Social Security, and the length of time they contributed to the program.

A senior who retires at age 70 may receive up to $4,873 per month. A retiree who ties the knot at age sixty-two can only draw up to $2,710 per month. As per the Social Security Administration, an individual’s maximum monthly payment after reaching the full retirement age of 67 is $3,822.

In comparison to the monthly payments made this past year, there will be a 3.2% increase in the 2024 installments. The increase is a component of the October-announced yearly cost-of-living adjustment.

Using the SSA’s calculator, one can obtain a monthly estimate that is specific to them.
