For anyone planning on retiring soon the following questions, in some degree or another, have probably come to mind. The problem is that many of the answers to these questions will result in a “it depends” answer (ie. How much Social Security will I get?) so it is always recommended to consult with a professional Social Security attorney to get the absolute most accurate as possible answers.

  • What is the Social Security retirement age?
  • How do you apply for Social Security?
  • How much Social Security will I get?
  • What is the Social Security tax limit?
  • What is the Social Security wage limit?
  • What is the average Social Security benefit?
  • What is the maximum Social Security benefit?
  • How do I get a new Social Security card?
  • How do I qualify for Social Security disability?
  • When will I receive my Social Security check?


  • There have been numerous changes to Social Security laws in 2019 and there will be numerous changes as time goes on. Every year, there is an adjustment in things like “wage limit” and “maximum benefit amount” so the answers to these questions will, in fact, change year after year.
