You will get $186 more on average than most retirees in the United States (approx. $1,689 per month). Retirees in New Jersey will get $186 more on average than most retirees in the rest of the country. And that can add up to $2,232 per year. After the 2022 raise, you will basically receive $1,834.71 per month.

How amazing is that? If you are living in New Jersey, you are lucky.
