In short, the best advice for claiming Social Security is to wait. Yet 41 percent of men and 46 percent of women retire at age 62 on the smallest possible benefit check. Only 14.3 percent of men and 9.7 percent of women wait to collect their full check at age 66.
A: Definitely not. With some exceptions, Social Security payments have been paid on different dates throughout a month since May 1997. Until then, Social Security payments arrived on the third of a month. Most people receiving SSA benefits based on their own work record, such as your own retirement, have a payment date based on their birth date. A family member receiving benefits through your record also has a payment date based on your birthday.
