Social Security is the same no matter what your race or ethnicity, but due to certain demographic trends, APAs tend to live longer and therefore have more years to benefit from the program.
In 2002, the average monthly benefit for an APA man was $831. For an APA woman, it was
$570. It is the only source of retirement income for 28 percent of elderly APAs. (Source:: Phil
