Would My Payment Amount Be Higher If I Was Still Living In New York?
Hi Larry, I wanted to know do the amount of your social security payment varies on which state you Live. Ex I worked in Newyork all my life and moved to Ga . I filled for Social security as a Ga resident. Would my payment have been higher if I was still living in NY.?
Hi,
Absolutely not. Social Security is a federal program and your state of residence is totally irrelevant in determining the amount of your benefit rate. Nor does it matter in which state(s) you worked, nor where you file your application.
Best, Jerry
