NEW YORK CITY - The first two Social Security checks for May were sent out to recipients, and two more rounds are scheduled to be distributed for the rest of the month.
Social Security payments are distributed depending on a beneficiary's birthday and how long they've been receiving benefits. The Social Security Administration typically sends out payment on the second, third and fourth Wednesdays of each month, and millions of Americans can receive up to $4,800 in these checks.
