Each recipient gets a different amount from the Social Security Administration at 70. The more you delay retirement, the higher your benefit will be. 70 is the moment when benefits stop growing, so you should not delay it anymore.
What is common to all retirees is the maximum benefit amount. However, very few receive such a large payment because many cannot achieve all the requirements the Administration set.

SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFIT AMOUNT AT 70
If you file for retirement benefits at the age of 70, you can receive up to $4,873 from the Administration. For your information, there are 4 conditions you must comply with to get so much money.
First of all, you must have worked for 35 years. Secondly, your jobs must have been covered by Social Security. In third place, earning the taxable maximum for 35 years is also compulsory.
If you do not want to get a reduction, filing at the age of 70 is necessary. Early filing at 62 can get a 30% reduction. But late filing at 70 gives recipients a 24% reward.
SOCIAL SECURITY AVERAGE CHECKS
If you have not earned the taxable maximum for 35 years, which is more than likely, you may get a lot less. The Administration announced that the average check is worth $1,910.
However, if you have worked for more than 10 years, and you do not know the amount you could receive, do this. Get a Social Security Statement every year, there you will find the possible amounts at the age of 62-70.
Thus, this will allow you to get a better idea of the future payment amount. Some may also discover that they are not entitled to Social Security, so they must carry on working and paying taxes.
If you believe that your Social Security is too low, you’d better apply for Supplemental Security Income and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program at the same time.
