In just a dozen days, seniors will start receiving their September retirement benefits from Social Security. These payments, depending on when you were born and when you retired, can range from $2,572 to a maximum of $4,555 per month. Let’s break down the details.
The first batch of payments is set to be sent out on September 13th, which happens to be the second Wednesday of the month. This initial wave will benefit those born between the 1st and the 10th of any given month. For those born between the 11th and the 20th, your retirement checks will follow on September 20th. Lastly, if your birthdate falls on or after the 21st of the month, you can expect your payment on September 27th.
But there’s more to this story. Some retirees belong to a separate group who receive monthly retirement payments. This group includes individuals who receive both Supplemental Security Income and Social Security benefits, those who retired prior to 1997, and U.S. retirees living abroad. Regardless of their birthdate, they will receive their payments on September 7th.
It’s essential to note that retirement payments differ from other forms of assistance provided by the Social Security Administration, such as disability insurance or Supplemental Security Income. The next round of SSI payments is scheduled to be disbursed on September 1st.

Now, let’s dive deeper into how much retirees can expect to receive. The monthly benefit amount varies depending on the age at which an individual chooses to retire. Seniors who opt for early retirement at 62 can receive a maximum of $2,572 per month. If you wait until the full retirement age of 67, your maximum monthly check increases to $3,627. And for those who delay retirement until they reach the age of 70, they can enjoy the largest monthly sum of up to $4,555, as per the Social Security Administration’s guidelines.
In summary, September is an important month for retirees, as their Social Security retirement checks will be arriving soon. The exact amount you receive depends on your age at retirement and your birthdate. Whether you’re preparing to retire or already enjoying your retirement, these payments provide valuable financial support to seniors across the nation.
