NextImg:Social Security update: Direct payment worth up to $4,555 goes out to millions in six days

Retirees need to wait six more days for the second round of May's three Social Security payments, worth up to $4,555, to be sent out, according to the Social Security Administration's schedule.

The payment will be sent to those born between the 11th and 20th of a month and will be disbursed on May 17, the third Wednesday of May. The payments are sent out on the second, third, and fourth Wednesdays of each month.

The first distribution went to retirees born between the 1st and 10th of a month and was released Wednesday, the second Wednesday of May. The final wave will be sent out on May 24, for those born on or after the 21st of the month.

The amount of money each recipient gets depends on their age at retirement. Recipients who retired at 67 can receive a maximum check of $3,627, people who retired at 62 get up to $2,572, and those who delayed retirement until age 70 get the highest payment of $4,555 per month, according to the SSA.

Recipients could see a decrease in their payments if Congress does not figure out how the program will be funded by 2037. Discussions on the future of Social Security have occurred in Congress for years, but experts warned last month that the program could be insolvent in 10 years if nothing is done.

Some lawmakers have proposed raising the age at which citizens receive their full benefits from 67 to 70. Workers can already retire and collect Social Security as early as 62 or delay retirement until they are 70 for a higher check.
