15 States With the Lowest Social Security Benefit
Whether you realize it or not, Social Security is liable to play a role in helping you make ends meet during retirement. According to national pollster Gallup, 90% of the retired workers it surveyed this year lean on their payouts in some degree to meet their expenses, with 57% implying it's a "major" source of income. This more or less jibes with statistics from the Social Security Administration (SSA) that 62% of retired workers generate at least half of their income from their monthly payouts.
There are more than a half-dozen factors that go into determining what you'll eventually receive from the Social Security program, and this sum of factors can lead to wide variances in what retired workers are paid -- even on a state-by-state basis.
