The overall amount of money a person receives from these benefits is determined in part by their age at retirement and the date they began receiving payments. These two variables play a part in the calculation.
70-year-olds are eligible for the highest incentive, which has a maximum value of $4,555 and is paid to those who meet the requirements.
According to the Social Security Administration, 67-year-old retirees are eligible for a maximum monthly payout of $3,627.Meanwhile, 62-year-old retirees will be entitled to a maximum benefit check of $2,572 once they reach the eligibility age.
Those who were born between the 11th and 20th of a given month will get their retirement benefits on March 15 as part of the Social Security Administration’s second batch of payments. Some persons are eligible for these benefits as a result of their birth month.
