United States seniors who are aged 62 and older can still receive the last monthly payment in March. Bear in mind that this Social Security check or direct deposit will only be for eligible retirees. Those seniors who have not filed and received approval yet are not eligible. What is more, the Agency will require seniors to meet an additional condition.
As a matter of fact, all the seniors aged 62 or older who qualify must have their birthday on specific days only. For example, if you were born from the 1st to the 20th, you do not qualify. However, if you were born from the 21st to the 31st, you will receive the Social Security payment on March 26, 2025.
What is the maximum and average Social Security check for March 26?
The maximum Social Security payment for 62-year-olds will be $2,831 on the 26th. To get more money you must have filed either at Full Retirement Age or at the age of 70.
For example, if you filed at Full Retirement Age, you can receive up to $4,018 on March 26. The age a worker reaches Full Retirement Age in 2025 is 66 years and 10 months.
Earning delayed Social Security work credits is possible. However, once you turn 70, your benefits stop growing. So, that is the moment when you must stop working if you have delayed filing.
Maximum Social Security at 70 on March 2025
In 2025, the Administration can send monthly payments of up to $5,108. Keep in mind that workers can get 24% extra if they work for 3 years after Full Retirement Age.
These delayed credits can boost their monthly payments considerably, which can be beneficial in dealing with inflation. But what are the requirements to get $5,108?
- claim Social Security at the age of 70, (at 62 you get a 30% reduction)
- work for a minimum of 35 years
- earn the contribution and benefit base for 35 years as well
- work in jobs that pay tax to Social Security
