SS is scaled based upon the average income as computed over a person's working life. Since he's got lots of zeros in the calculation, and there's a cap on the SS wage computation ($37,800 in 1984) his SS-calculated income is lower over the entire period, and thus the benefit is heavily reduced. It's not linear, but there's a hefty penalty to do it this way. |
