What is the maximum Social Security retirement benefit payable? The maximum benefit depends on the age you retire. For example, if you retire at full retirement age in 2017, your maximum benefit would be $2,687. However, if you retire at age 62 in 2017, your maximum benefit would be $2,153. If you retire at age 70 in 2017, your maximum benefit would be $3,538.
If your birthday is December 15th and you are already over age 62, your first payment should arrive on the third Wednesday of the month following the month in which you apply. (If you're already on Social Security, or receive both Social Security and SSI payments, you may receive them on a different date.)
