$4873 Social Security: It was never intended for Social Security to be your only source of retirement income. Social Security won’t even be the primary source of retirement income for prudent investors. However, you might as well make the most of a program that you are compelled to join if you can.
In light of this, let’s take a deeper look at the income requirements if you hope to have any chance of receiving the $4873 monthly maximum Social Security retirement payment.
Benefits for this month will be distributed to Social Security beneficiaries who were born between the 21st and the 31st of any given month on Wednesday. The recipients of these benefits are going to include pensioners, people with impairments, and surviving claimants.

The maximum monthly benefit under the program would be paid to those who have worked for 35 years at a high salary; this benefit was increased in 2024 as a result of the annual cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA. The Social Security Administration (SSA) imposed an 8.7% COLA adjustment in 2023, when inflation had increased considerably more than the previous year. This year’s COLA of 3.2% was far lower than that amount.
Retirees typically receive around $1,906 in benefits. Individuals with disabilities and retirees with little to no income who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) typically receive smaller payment amounts. Although the average payment is $1,537, each beneficiary’s specific circumstances will determine the exact amount.
Depending on their birthdate, retirees get a monthly Social Security payout.
The final payment of the month will be made to Social Security beneficiaries on Wednesday.
