The average Social Security check for retirees hovers around $1,200. For those who live only on this income, it is all challenging, in fact, it is for this reason that some people make the decision to move to a city where living costs are more affordable. While the amount you receive from Social Security Administration (SSA) benefits, it will depend on the years you have worked and the amount of your income, there is a general average that is granted in each state of the country.
And according to a study by Go Banking Rates, these are the average payments that the SSA grants in each state in the United States:
