Summary

  • June 24 marks the third and final June payment wave for retirees born on or after the 21st of any month, with maximum monthly benefits reaching $5,181.
  • That cap applies to retirees who waited until age 70; the Social Security Administration says claiming at 62 can mean a maximum monthly check of $2,969.
  • June's earlier rounds went out on June 10 for birthdays on or before the 10th and on June 17 for those born from the 11th through the 20th.
  • Social Security is funded by payroll taxes from workers and employers, but trustees project the retirement fund will be depleted by 2032, risking benefit cuts unless Congress acts.
