According to Vibes.okdiario The Social Security Administration (SSA) will be issuing new payments for eligible retirees in the coming weeks. If you are 62 years old and meet the necessary requirements, you are eligible to start receiving these monthly checks, either via direct deposit or check.
However, if you’re wondering whether your payment will arrive this week, the answer is no. The reason is that November 6, 2024, was the first Wednesday of the month, and SSA typically begins issuing payments starting from the second Wednesday onward.
New Payment Dates for 62-Year-Olds
The next Social Security payment for those who are 62 years old will be issued on November 13, 2024. Specifically, 62-year-olds born between the 1st and 10th of the month will receive their payment on this date, as long as they meet the following criteria:
- They do not violate SSA’s rules
- They began collecting Social Security benefits after April 30, 1997
- They are not receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
For those who were born on different dates, the payment schedule is as follows:
- November 20, 2024: for those born between 11th and 20th of the month
- November 27, 2024: for those born between 21st and 31st of the month

Maximum Social Security Payment at Age 62 in November 2024
The maximum monthly Social Security payment for a 62-year-old in November 2024 can reach up to $2,710. However, to qualify for this maximum amount, you must meet several key criteria:
- You must have worked for 35 years in jobs covered by SSA.
- You need to have earned at or above the contribution and benefit base for all of those years.
- You must be applying for benefits at age 62.
By meeting these requirements, you will be eligible for the highest possible payment under Social Security.
