The third round of January Social Security payments, worth up to $4,873 for top earners who retire at 70, will go out to the final group of retirees in just under one week.

Retired seniors born on or after the 21st of a month can expect their first payment of 2024 to arrive in six days, on Jan. 24. Those born on or between the 1st and 20th of a month should have received their payments in an earlier disbursement.
