February’s second round of Social Security payments, totaling $4,873, distributed in just one day
The Second Wave of Social Security Payments
The anticipation is building as the second wave of February’s Social Security payments is set to go out this Wednesday. For retirees born between the 11th and 20th of their birth month, this is an exciting time.
But don’t worry if you’re not in this group. Retirees born on or after the 21st of the month will receive their payment next week on Feb. 28. And for those lucky individuals born between the first and the 10th of the month, their payment has already been received.
How Much Can You Expect?
The amount each recipient can receive varies based on several factors. Your age at the time of retirement, the amount you paid into Social Security, and the number of years you contributed to the program all play a role.
If you retire at the age of 70, you could receive a maximum of $4,873 per month. However, if you choose to retire at the youngest age possible, which is 62, your monthly benefit will be limited to $2,710.
For those who retire at the full retirement age of 67, the maximum benefit is $3,822 per month, according to the Social Security Administration.
What’s New in 2024?
This year’s 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.
If you’re curious about your personalized estimate, the SSA’s calculator can provide you with more information.
So mark your calendars and get ready for that second wave of Social Security payments. It’s time to celebrate your hard-earned retirement!
