Social Security is the largest source of retirement income for most American households, but the makeup of your household impacts how much money you receive.
According to an article by Investopedia, a dual-earning married couple receives about $50,000 a year from Social Security on average, while a single-earner couple gets about $37,000 in benefits. It’s easy to understand why so many retirees are struggling these days.
Council of Seniors Is Here To Help Older Americans
All of us here at the Council of Seniors want to improve retirees’ financial futures and ensure they receive their full Social Security benefits. We are working with members of Congress to introduce the “Social Security Restitution Act.” It would provide an estimated $970 payment to every retired worker receiving Social Security benefits to help offset years of inadequate cost-of-living adjustments
