The first round of September’s Social Security payments, worth up to $4,873 for the highest-income earners who retire at age 70, will go out to the first group of retirees in six days.
Here is everything you need to know about this month’s Social Security payments, which go out in three rounds.
When does the check arrive?
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 between the 1st and 10th of a month received their payments on Sept. 11. Beneficiaries born between the 11th and 20th of a month received their checks on Sept. 18, and retirees born on or after the 21st of a month will receive their payments on Sept. 25.
