Low Social Security Age 62 Benefits Explained in Detail
Usually, the payment of Social Security to a retiree of the 62 years age group is the maximum. By the end of 2024, the majority of males aged 62 get close to $1,485, and women, in general, are awarded about $1,207 in payments. Well, what is the cause? Early registration brought about a permanent reduction in benefits compared to those who waited until Full Retirement took place (66–67) or 70 years of age.
Nevertheless, a small percentage of individuals with a high income who worked for 35 years covered by the Social Security Administration (SSA) and earned the maximum taxable income during those years may still receive up to $2,831 per month, even at 62.
Birthdays as the Basis for the June Social Security Payments
Each retiree’s payment day could vary. In case you are 62 years old and are right now a greenhorn in the ranks of retirees, your Social Security receipt in June will dictate when you were born:
- June 11: If your birthday is between the 1st and 10th
- June 18: If they were born between the 11th and 20th.
- June 25: If they were born between the 21st and 31st of the month.
The payment on June 3 is only given to the people who have been getting the Social Security benefits before May 1997, or those who are receiving both SSI and Social Security—two categories that people of age 62 mostly don’t belong to.

Are You Still Working at 62? Your Benefits May Be Reduced
If you are employed and collecting but below the minumum coverage age of 62 for Social Security, your monthly benefit might not be paid out fully, the payments could be reduced based on the earnings, see links in related articles.
At the SSA, an earnings test is normally being implemented which involves determining the point at which a beneficiary’s wages become too high, have passed the limit, and therefore, in the end, need to be partially or fully returned. The filer is generally subjected to the benefit reduction if he outearns the limit he is allowed during the early years of entitlement to the benefits, i.e. until he reaches the stage of Full Retirement Age.
