Video Transcript

Thank you for joining us for the latest Social Security update.
Today we are exploring how much you could receive from Social Security if you wait until age 70 to claim benefits in 2025.
This decision can make a significant difference in your monthly income during retirement.
Keep watching as we explain the requirements for reaching the maximum benefit and how your choices now could impact your financial future.
In 2025, if you wait until age 70 to claim your Social Security retirement benefits, you could receive as much as $5,18 per month, but only if you meet strict criteria, including having earned at or above the annual wage cap for 35 years and delaying your claim until your 70th birthday.
Most retirees will see average monthly payments closer to $2,000, reflecting typical lifetime earnings and claiming ages.
For those on Social Security disability insurance, the maximum benefit is lower with average payments around $1,537 per month.
And supplemental security income recipients will see maximum federal payments of $943 for individuals and $1,415 for couples in 2025 subject to income and resource limits.
The wage cap for social security taxes rises to $176,100 in 2025, meaning earnings above this level do not increase your future benefits.
Waiting until age 70 to claim retirement benefits results in the highest possible monthly payment due to delayed retirement credits while claiming earlier permanently reduces your benefit.
These rules do not affect SSI recipients whose payments are based on need rather than work history.
Understanding these distinctions is essential for planning how and when to claim benefits to best support your retirement goals as you consider your next steps.
If you qualify for the maximum social security benefit of $5,18 at age 70 in 2025, you have achieved a rare milestone that requires decades of high earnings and careful timing.
To make the most of your retirement, consider delaying your claim if your finances allow and review your earnings record to ensure accuracy.
