How Big Is Joe Biden's Social Security Check? Take a Look
Last month, Social Security celebrated its 87th "birthday." Since being signed into law in August 1935 and beginning payouts on Jan. 1, 1940, Social Security has served as a financial foundation for our nation's retired workforce.
Today, more than 48 million retired workers are receiving a monthly check that averages $1,670.95, as of July. While this might not sound like a lot -- especially with inflation at four-decade highs -- Social Security plays a key role in helping recipients make ends meet. According to national pollster Gallup, 89% of surveyed retirees count on Social Security as a "major" or "minor" source of income. This means only about one in 10 Americans aren't reliant on Social Security income during retirement.
President Joe Biden happens to fall into this exclusive club.
