Second round of February Social Security payments worth $4,873 to be sent in five days
A Second Wave of Social Security Payments Coming Soon
Get ready, retirees! In just five days, a second wave of February’s Social Security payments will be hitting your bank accounts. And for those who retired at 70 and are among the highest earners, this could mean a hefty sum of up to $4,873.
Mark Your Calendars
According to the Social Security Administration’s calendar, if you were born between the 11th and 20th of your birth month, you can expect to receive your second payment on Wednesday, Feb. 21. But don’t worry if you were born later in the month. Payments for those born on or after the 21st will be sent out on Wednesday, Feb. 28.
For those lucky individuals born between the 1st and 10th of the month, your payment has already arrived on Feb. 14.
Factors Affecting Your Payment
Now, let’s talk about the maximum amount you can receive. It all depends on various factors, such as your age at the time of retirement, the amount you contributed to Social Security, and the number of years you paid into the program.
If you retired at the ripe age of 70, you could potentially receive a generous $4,873 per month. However, if you retired at the earliest possible age of 62, your monthly payment is limited to $2,710.
For those who retire at the full retirement age of 67, the maximum benefit is $3,822 per month, as stated by the SSA.
But wait, there’s more! The 2024 payments come with a 3.2% increase compared to last year’s monthly payments. This boost is part of the annual cost-of-living adjustment, which was announced in October.
Curious about how much you’ll be receiving? Use the SSA’s calculator to get a personalized estimate of your monthly benefit.
So, keep an eye on your bank account and get ready to enjoy that well-deserved Social Security payment!
