How You Could Score $4,000-Plus a Month From Social Security in 2022
Social Security represents a vital financial backstop for aging Americans. Most retirees rely on it for the majority of their financial support in retirement, and a surprisingly large number of Americans get nearly all of their retirement income from the program.
A typical recipient got a $1,543 monthly check when 2021 began. But much larger Social Security payments are possible if you do everything you can to maximize your benefit. In fact, if you play your cards right and are fortunate enough to qualify, it's entirely possible that the maximum Social Security benefit will jump to more than $4,000 a month starting in 2022.
Below, we'll look at what it takes to earn that maximum benefit and what you can do to boost your prospects for more money from Social Security.
