Attention March-Born Retirees: Your Social Security Payments Are on the Way!

On Wednesday, March 20, this group can expect a financial boost with payments reaching up to $4,873 for those of you who waited until 70 to retire.
What You Need to Know About Your Payment Schedule
- Retirees born 11th-20th get their Social Security on March 20
- March babies born after the 20th will see their payments on March 27
- Did you celebrate your birthday on or before the 10th? Then you should have received your check last Wednesday
It’s a one-time deal each month, but when you receive that much-awaited deposit hinges on your birthday. It’s like a monthly birthday gift from Uncle Sam!
Maximizing Your Benefits – It’s All in the Timing
Did you know that the longer you wait to tap into Social Security, the sweeter the pot grows? If you’ve hit the grand age of 70, you’re looking at a plush $4,873 per month. Meanwhile, retiring at 67 drops the potential max to $3,822. And if you jumped on the retirement train at 62, the max you can draw is $2,710.
Remember: these figures aren’t one-size-fits-all. Your personal payout is influenced by factors such as your work history, earnings, and contributions to the Social Security pot over the years.
Feeling the pinch of inflation? There’s some good news: 2024 payments are swelling by 3.2% compared to last year, thanks to the annual cost-of-living adjustment. So, you’ll get a little more to cover those rising costs.
