The first group of retired seniors can expect to see the first wave of December's Social Security payments, worth up to $4,555 for people who retire at 70, in just over two weeks.

The millions of retirees born between the 1st and 10th of a month will receive the payment on Wednesday, Dec. 13, and beneficiaries born between the 11th and 31st of a month will get their checks in one of two later payments. November's payments have already gone out.

The Social Security Administration sends payments in three disbursements every month, on the second, third, and fourth Wednesdays. Each recipient gets one check, and how much that check is worth depends on certain factors. Beneficiaries can see a personalized estimate of what they can expect each month through the SSA's calculator.

The maximum payment for each Social Security recipient varies based on the age at which the person retires. For example, people who retire at 62, the youngest age to receive payments, can get up to $2,572 per month. Those who retire at 70 can receive up to $4,555 per month, according to the SSA, and those who retire at the full age of retirement, 67, can see a maximum check of up to $3,627 per month.

Monthly payments will rise by 3.2% in 2024 as part of the program's annual adjustments based on inflation, the SSA announced in October. The increase will be the same percentage for all payments the administration sends, including retirement and disability pay.

Regular retirement checks are different from other payments given out by the SSA, such as disability insurance or Supplemental Security Income. Those checks are distributed on a different schedule.
