Social Security Deposit beneficiaries, particularly seniors with birthdays between the 21st and 31st days of the month, may receive monthly benefits of up to $5,108, depending on their age at retirement and lifetime earnings history. This maximum benefit rate applies to individuals who delay claiming Social Security until age 70 and have paid Social Security taxes on the maximum taxable earnings for at least 35 years.
Benefit Amounts and Retirement Age (Monthly)
Monthly Social Security benefits are calculated using the 35 highest-earning, inflation-adjusted years. Retiring early at age 62 results in reduced monthly payments — approximately $2,831 as the maximum benefit in 2025. Those who wait until full retirement age (between 66 and 67, depending on the year of birth) receive higher benefits averaging $4,018. The maximum benefit of $5,108 per month is available to those who retire at age 70, maximizing delayed retirement credits.
Schedule of Deposits and Payment Dates (Birthdays 21–31)
Social Security payments are distributed according to the beneficiary’s date of birth to streamline processing. Individuals born between the 21st and 31st of the month receive their benefits on the third Wednesday of each month. For example, in October 2025, payments for this group are scheduled for October 22, 2025. This system helps seniors plan and manage their monthly budgets effectively.
Important Income and Earnings Thresholds for 2025
The maximum taxable income under Social Security in 2025 has increased to $176,100, meaning higher earners will contribute more in Social Security taxes and potentially qualify for higher benefits. The earnings limit — the maximum income beneficiaries under full retirement age can earn before benefits are reduced — is set at $23,400. For individuals reaching full retirement age in 2025, the higher limit is $62,160.
