Does The Zip Code From Which I File For Social Security Affect What I'll Be Paid?

Does the zip code from which I file for Social Security have any impact, other than taxes, on the benefit I'll be paid?

Hi,

No. Social Security is a federal program. Where you live and where you apply for benefits has no bearing on your benefit rate.

Best, Jerry
