Biden collects social security check
Greedy millionaire collects Social security benefits... and wants more On Joe and Jill Biden's Form 1040 is line 5a, where Social Security benefits received is reported. In 2018 -- the most recent tax filing that Biden made available as part of his presidential campaign -- the couple received $49,545 from Social Security. This was a drop in the bucket next to the $4.58 million the couple reported in adjusted gross income for 2018. However, the amount the Bidens received in aggregate Social Security benefits is certainly on the upper end of the spectrum. Back in October 2018, the average retired worker was bringing home $1,419.34 a month , which equates to a bit over $17,000 a year in income. Joe and Jill combined were netting well over this average in 2018.
