The June payments can still bring happiness among 62-year-olds who are retired and qualify for Social Security. In the first place, they can get a payment one day before the due date.
Receiving money in advance is usually great news because some retirees may need to pay necessary expenses with that Social Security cash. Therefore, SSA has scheduled the June 19 check for June 18. As June 19 is a Federal holiday, the payment needs to be delivered before that date.
June 18 and June 26 will be Social Security paydays
To get Social Security on June 18, you must have been on benefits after April 30, 1997. Besides, your birthday must be from the eleventh to the twentieth of any month.
If you meet both requirements, the June 18 check will be yours. As for the June 26 payment, the Social Security Administration will also check the same conditions but your birth date must be from 21-31.
For example, if you began getting benefits from May 1997 onward and your birthday is on the 22nd, you will receive the payment of up to $2,710 on June 26. But what about the eligibility for the maximum benefit at 62?
Social Security benefit payments of up to $2,710
At 62, the largest check you can receive from the Administration is $2,710. If a worker had decided to delay retirement until the age of 70 and qualified for $2,710 at 62, they could have received up to $4,873.
To get up to $2,710 you must have worked for at least 35 years. During all those years, you must have also earned the taxable maximum. Remember that even if you qualify for retirement benefits, you must file for them.
To get up to $2,710, you must have had jobs covered by SSA. Otherwise, you may not be eligible for retirement benefits from SSA. The last requirement is to file at 62.
