The second round of May's three Social Security payments, worth up to $4,555, will be sent out in one day, according to the Social Security Administration's schedule.

The first distribution was sent to retirees born between the 1st and 10th of a month last week, on the second Wednesday of May. The final wave will be sent out on May 24, and it will be for those born on or after the 21st of a month.
The amount of money each recipient gets depends on his or her age at retirement. Recipients who retire at 67 can receive a maximum check of $3,627, people who retire at 62 get up to $2,572, and those who delay retirement until age 70 get the highest payment of $4,555 per month, according to the SSA.

Social Security recipients could see a cost-of-living adjustment of just 3.1% next year, a significant dip from the 8.7% they received for 2023. The annual COLA is based on the consumer price index for urban wage earners and clerical workers.
