Seniors aged 66-67 can receive up to $3,822 from Social Security in the United States. In fact, the last payment date set by SSA when recipients can get this maximum amount will be on November 27.
So, a direct deposit or check worth $3,822 will soon be sent to those seniors aged 66-67 who meet all the requirements that SSA set. Of course, it is only possible if you were a really high earner as a worker.
Social Security for seniors aged 66-67 on November 27
Those retirees aged 66-67 who were born from the 21st to the 31st will get their monthly payment on November 27 if:
- they got benefits after April 30, 1997
- are not getting Supplemental Security Income payments
If you received Social Security before May 1997, your next payment date of up to $3,822 will be due on December 3, 2024. If you do not qualify for the December 3 payday, there will be more payments on December 11, 18 and 24.
The Social Security check or direct deposit on December 24 will be yours if you also qualify for the payment due on November 27. The 2025 COLA increase will not be due until January next year. But what about the amounts for seniors aged 66-67?
Social Security amounts for seniors aged 66-67
If you earned the contribution and benefit base for 35 years and filed at Full Retirement Age, you can receive up to $3,822 on November 27, 2024. Average payments for all retired workers are about $1,924.
On average, Social Security recipients aged 66-67 get about $1,750 and $1,900. However, it is not possible to know the exact figure because the Administration has not unveiled these statistics for a while.
Those seniors aged 66-67 whose Social Security payment is too low can receive Supplemental Security Income. So, if you are in this situation, you can apply now for SSI checks too. By doing so, you will receive extra money each month. What is more, you can also receive SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits. Thus, it is time to apply to get more cash every month.
