Harrison Ford's Social Security Benefit Reveals the Power of Delayed Retirement Credits

Harrison Ford receives an estimated $4,640 per month in Social Security benefits, more than double the average American retiree's benefit of $2,071. This gap is a function of timing. Ford likely waited until age 70 to claim in 2012, the final year to earn delayed retirement credits, which increase benefits by 32% over the full retirement age. The maximum benefit available in 2012 was $3,266. After 12 years of cost-of-listing adjustments, that base grows to the current estimated $4,640. The Social Security Administration calculates benefits based on the top 35 earning years. Ford's early career earnings are irrelevant; only his peak decades count.
