What is the maximum social security benefit?

Answer by  jlwilson6 (1098)

It depends on the age the person plans to retire. If one retired at age 66, the maximum would be $2,346.

That varies on how much you've earned in your lifetime. If you contact the social security office, they'll send you an annual report telling you what your benefits will be and when you can receive them. The benefits vary for each person, so their personalized summary is very helpful and it's free.
