The First Round of Payments will begin Early in April. Recently, the SSA has declared the payment schedule for June. Some checks are getting as high as $5000 for certain retired beneficiaries. The released payments will also be disbursed on the basis of birthday months and benefit category, as already known for some months.
This group encompasses retirees who retired before May, 1997, and SSI beneficiaries. They would receive their funds in the first week of April.
Payment Dates for Retirees Based on Birthdays Payment schedule of retired individuals who are receiving their benefits after May 1997 is determined according to the birthdays of these retirees:
- Retirees born between the 1st and 10th of any month will receive their checks on April 9.
- Retirees born between the 11th and 20th of any month will receive payments on April 16.
- Retirees who were born from the 21st to the end of the month will gain their payment by April 23.
These scheduled dates follow the SSA’s typical pattern of scheduling the payment of Social Security benefits for the second, third, and fourth weeks of the month.
How much do retirees get?
The very amounts paid into Social Security for retirees’ checks vary according to such circumstances as work history and buildup of age at the time of retirement. Major amounts for payments in April include the following:
Early retirement (at age 62): They give about $2000 a month, but reduced because of early penalties.
Full retirement age (67) beneficiaries: Average monthly payments are $3,000.
Those who delay retirement until age 70 can receive up to $5,000 per month, as the benefits continue to increase beyond 100% of the earned amount due to delaying retirement.

SSI Payment and Eligibility Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients, depending on marital status and financial need, will typically experience these varied amounts in monthly payments, which may come to about $900 to $1,400 each month. This program is for providing support to low-income individuals aged 65 and older and disabled persons who meet the SSA’s standards.
Effect of Social Security Overpayment Policy Recently, the SSA has updated its policies dealing with overpayments, affecting how retirees and the rest of the beneficiary recipients perform their repayment obligations. The updates have caused worry among the recipients, arguing that there are some recipients whose benefits will now be deducted unexpectedly.
SSA has options like requesting reconsideration, getting a payment plan, or again qualifying for waivers within certain conditions for the affected people.
