How can I maximize my check?
Social Security payment amounts are determined by several factors, including age of retirement, the amount paid into Social Security, and the number of years paid into Social Security.
Payments largely depend on a recipient’s retirement age. A retiree retiring at the youngest age, 62, could receive up to $2,831 per month, while a 70-year-old retiree can receive up to $5,108 per month, according to the Social Security Administration.
