The article reports that the third and final round of September Social Security payments will be issued on Wednesday, Sept. 23, for beneficiaries born between the 21st and end of the month. Payments are capped at $5,181 per month for those who delay benefits until age 70, while full retirement age benefits start at around $4,152 monthly. Recipients can use the Social Security Administration’s calculator to estimate their specific benefit amounts based on personal earnings and retirement age. The article notes that the fund is projected to run out by 2032 unless Congress acts to address the financial sustainability of the program due to increasing retiree numbers and a decreasing workforce contributing to it.
