Maximum SS

[livingalmostlarge]

Is there a maximum amount people get from SS? I mean if the contributions max out at $11th is what you get back capped as well?

How does er affect SS?

No, there is no maximum. I heard one guy was collecting $12,000 per month from social security, and his wife was collecting $6,000.

Yep.....according to that.... $3350 a month is max (at 70). I'd take that, a lot more than I will get.

It's not possible. I googled "maximum social security benefit" and clicked on the first result, and I got the answer to your question. You should try it sometime.

They are probably good candidates to enter federal prison ... (didn't need to google that one )

No doubt he will soon be publishing his new book entitled "$18,000/month from SS? No Problem".

I look forward to reading it.

I wonder if the affliction of multiple personality disorder has been tried as a plea in court for the defense of multiple SS claims. It might be worth a shot.
