摘要

The maximum monthly benefit for an employee who retires at full retirement age in 2008 is $2,185 ($2,116 for 2007). Persons who work beyond full retirement age can qualify for higher amounts.rnMinimum benefits. Workers that would receive only a small benefit even though they have worked for many years in jobs covered by Social Security, may be eligible for special minimum benefits. Benefits are equal to $11.50 multiplied by the number of years over 10 (up to 30) that the worker has been covered by the law and has met minimum earnings requirements set out in the law.
