The second round of September’s Social Security payments, worth up to $4,873 for the highest-income earners who retire at age 70, will go out to the next group of retirees in two days.

When a person receives his or her check depends on the date he or she was born. Retirees born between the 11th and 20th of a month will receive their checks on Sept. 18. Social Security checks are typically first sent out on the second Wednesday of every month, with the rest of the waves sent out on the following Wednesdays.
