The first round of September Social Security<\/a> payments for retirees, now capped at $5,181, will be issued in 11 days.<\/p>\n

Retirees born on or before the 10th of a month will receive this payment<\/a> on Wednesday, Sept. 9.<\/p>\n

The second round will go out on Sept. 16 to those born between the 11th and 20th of a month, and the third round will go out on Sept. 23 to those born on or after the 21st of a month.<\/p>\n

When am I eligible?<\/p>\n

Citizens are eligible for Social Security payments beginning at age 62.<\/p>\n

How can I maximize my check?<\/p>\n

Social Security payment amounts are determined by several factors, including age of retirement, the amount paid into Social Security, and the number of years paid into Social Security.<\/p>\n

Payments largely depend<\/a> on a recipient\u2019s retirement age. A beneficiary retiring at the youngest age, 62, could receive up to $2,969 per month, while a 70-year-old retiree could receive up to $5,181 per month, according to the Social Security Administration.<\/p>\n

Beneficiaries can see a personalized estimate of how much they could expect each month using the SSA\u2019s calculator<\/a>.<\/p>\n

SOCIAL SECURITY CHECKS COULD DECREASE BY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS IN EVERY STATE BY 2032: REPORT<\/a><\/p>\n

How is it financed?<\/p>\n

Social Security is financed by a payroll tax paid for by employers and employees.<\/p>\n

Social Security payment amounts are set to shrink unless Congress takes action to prevent it. According to a report from trustees, the retirement fund is set to run out by 2032<\/a> due to a rising number of retirees and a shrinking workforce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The first round of September Social Security payments for retirees, now capped at $5,181, will be issued in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":584655,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[138,246,300,111,139,69,244,245,294,1050,1051],"class_list":["post-584654","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-personal-finance","tag-business","tag-finance","tag-money","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-personal-finance","tag-personalfinance","tag-retirement","tag-social-security","tag-social-security-administration"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/584654","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=584654"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/584654\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/584655"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=584654"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=584654"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=584654"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
