Here's the Average Social Security Cut Beneficiaries in Every State Could Face in 6 Years
Published June 22, 2026 · Category: Finance
Overview
We're now a little more than six years from a potentially devastating Social Security cut that could shrink average checks by nearly a quarter, and workers and seniors alike are rightfully worried. Millions of Americans depend on these benefits to keep themselves afloat and cannot afford to lose any of them.
The estimated 22% cut would reduce the $2,083 average monthly Social Security benefit as of May 2026 to $1,625 per month, a $458 decrease. But some states would see much greater average losses than this number.
