Millions of retirees will receive their first August check, worth up to $4,555 for people who delay their retirement until they are in their 70s, in 12 days.

The first wave of payments will go out on Aug. 9, 2023, to people born between the 1st and 10th of the month. The second wave will be dispersed on Aug. 16 for those born between the 11th and 20th of the month. The third will be sent out on Aug. 23 to those born after the 21st. Recipients get one payment each month.

There are also payments sent out on Aug. 3 to those who live outside the U.S., those that receive both Supplemental Security Income and Social Security benefits, and those who retired before 1997.

The maximum amount of money each beneficiary can receive differs. Factors that affect how much each retiree receives depends on the age they retire, how long they have paid into the program, and how much money they pay into Social Security during those working years.

Recipients who retire at the earliest age of 62 get monthly installments of up to $2,572. People who retire at 67, the full retirement age, receive a maximum benefit of $3,627. Those who delay retirement until 70, the oldest age of retirement, get the highest maximum payment of up to $4,555 per month, according to the Social Security Administration.

The future of Social Security, including how the payments work and the amount individuals will receive, is still uncertain. But experts have warned that recipients could see a decrease in their payments in 2034 if Congress does not settle on funding for the program before the Social Security trust runs out.
