Millions of Social Security retirees will receive the final round of October's retirement payments, worth up to $4,555 for those who retired at 70, in five days.

The third and last Social Security payment will be given to recipients on Oct. 25 for those born on or after the 21st. Those born between the 1st and 20th of their birth month have already received their checks in the first two disbursements. Each recipient gets a single check.

Social Security payments are based on the earnings that are made throughout a recipient’s career. The maximum amount people receive varies based on the age at which the individual retires.

Those who retire at the current retirement age, 67, receive a maximum check of $3,627, while those who retire at 62 get up to $2,572. Those who delay their retirement to age 70 get the largest payment of up to $4,555 per month, per the Social Security Administration.

A person must have paid into Social Security for at least 10 years to qualify for the payments.

Normal Social Security checks are different from other payments given out by the SSA, such as disability insurance or Supplemental Security Income. The amount of each benefit is expected to rise by 3.2% in 2024, according to the SSA, for both SSI and retirement checks.

Analysts predict that Social Security insolvency could occur as early as 2034 unless crucial action is taken by Congress to prevent it. Any change that does occur to the program would not affect those who are already on Social Security.
