Whether you live along the Eastern coastline, in the plains of the Midwest, or at the foot of the Rockies, one thing unites all of us here in the U.S.A. — everyone deserves to get the most out of Social Security.

But have you ever wondered which states receive the most in Social Security benefits? John Csiszar of Yahoo brings us this awesome list that includes the top 10 states in terms of benefits received.

These numbers can be influenced by a number of factors such as state population size, average age, number of retirees, average wages, cost of living, Social Security taxes, and more.

Did your state make the list? Do you think that other states will join the list soon? Tell us your thoughts in the comments, then follow NORA on Facebook and Twitter for more content.
