How much can I earn while receiving SS benefits?
If you haven’t already, open an account online at SSA.GOV. You will be able to check your earnings history and a forecasted benefit amount can be determined.
Are you asking ; “How much will my SS check be?”
or
“After I start receiving SS, how much can I earn working at a job without impacting my SS benefits?”
How much money am I allowed to earn per year, while also collecting social security benefits? I’m 62 and this will be the first year of collecting benefits.
From ssa.gov
If you are under full retirement age for the entire year, we deduct $1 from your benefit payments for every $2 you earn above the annual limit. For 2024, that limit is $22,320 .
Once you reach full retirement age, there is no limit.
That was a terrible result of the 1980s law that put that cap it… THEY DIDN’T INDEX IT TO INFLATION!
