First round of April Social Security payments goes out in 4 days – Washington Examiner
The first round of Social Security payments for April is scheduled to be distributed in four days, with payments of up to $5,108 available for high-income retirees who retire at age 70. Generally, Social Security payments are made on the second Wednesday of each month, varying based on the retiree’s birth date. Specifically, retirees born on or before the 10th of the month will receive their payments on Wednesday, while those born between the 11th and 20th will get theirs on April 16, and those born on or after the 21st will see payments on April 23. Citizens can start receiving Social Security benefits at age 62, but the amount received depends on retirement age and work history. If no legislative action is taken,payment amounts may decrease by 2034 due to an imbalance between the number of retirees and active workers financing the programme.
First round of April Social Security payments goes out in 4 days
The first round of April’s Social Security payments, worth up to $5,108 for the highest-income earners who retire at 70, will go out to retirees in four days.
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 on or before the 10th of a month will receive their payments on Wednesday. Beneficiaries born between the 11th and 20th of a month will receive their checks on April 16, and retirees born on or after the 21st of a month will receive their payments on April 23.
Citizens are eligible for Social Security payments beginning at 62 years old, but retirement age, the amount paid into Social Security, and the number of years paid into Social Security all affect the amount beneficiaries receive from the program.
Payments largely depend on a recipient’s retirement age. Retiring at the youngest age, 62, allows up to $2,831 per month, while delaying retirement until age 70 can allot 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 through the SSA’s calculator.

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.
