Hundreds of Americans might receive a new payment on July 10. The Social Security Administration (SSA) is sending direct deposits to people who started getting benefits from May 1997 onward and have birthdays between the 1st and 10th of any month. These payments could be up to $4,873 if certain conditions are met.
To get the maximum Social Security payment of $4,873 on July 10, you must have started collecting benefits at age 70. However, just filing at 70 isn’t enough. There are other requirements you need to meet:
File at Age 70: You need to have started collecting your Social Security benefits at age 70.
Work History: You must have worked and paid payroll taxes for at least 35 years.
High Earnings: You must have earned the maximum taxable amount for Social Security for 35 years.
If you meet all these criteria, you can get the maximum payment. If you don’t meet these conditions, you will receive a smaller amount.
