Monthly Social Security checks: How much will be sent in 2023?
Payments are calculated on an individual basis based on the “Primary Insurance Amount”. In addition, the amount of benefits may be affected by the age of the beneficiaries, as well as the increase in the cost of living adjustment.
This year, thanks to the 8.7% increase in the COLA, average retiree payments increased to approximately $1,827, the SSA revealed in January. The maximum benefit for those who retire at age 62 is $2,572 per month, $3,627 per month for workers retiring at full retirement age (67), and $4,555 for those retiring at age 70 or later.
Meanwhile, median payments for Supplemental Security Income recipients are around $600. As for the maximum monthly SSI benefit, it is up to $914 for an individual and $1,371 for a married couple where both spouses are eligible for the program.

Why are two SSI payments sent in June?
SSI recipients will receive their June payment on the first day of the month. In addition, they will receive a second payment on June 30. This is because the first day of July is a Saturday, so the payment for that month is sent the Friday before. That’s why in June, SSI recipients will receive two payments, while in July they will receive none.
