57 Primary Insurance Amount (PIA) Amount received each month if benefits start at full retirement age (FRA) Based on lifetime Social Security earnings adjusted for inflation o Average indexed monthly earnings (AIME) over highest 35 years of earnings o Benefit reflects a percentage of average monthly earnings o Higher earners receive a smaller percentage than low-wage earners o Maximum PIA for 2017 is $2,788 Social Security statements available on mysocialsecurity (Sign up at ssa.gov/myaccount) 20
