If you claim your benefit in 2022, the largest monthly Social Security check you can get is $4,194 per month. The challenge, though, is that it's quite difficult to actually get the maximum Social Security benefit. While it's not likely that you're eligible for the $4,194 maximum Social Security benefit, it's probably worth your while to understand how those factors work together. Social Security uses the highest 35 years of your earnings, after considering the AIME formula, in determining your benefit. So start getting your plans in place today, to give yourself your best chance of getting close to that maximum Social Security benefit.
