Navigating Social Security: Working, Taxes, and Benefits
TL;DR Summary
Retirees can continue working while receiving Social Security benefits, but there are important considerations to keep in mind. Claiming benefits before full retirement age and earning over a certain amount can result in benefits being reduced through the Social Security retirement earnings test (RET). However, the withheld amount is gradually added back to benefits once full retirement age is reached. Understanding these rules is crucial for maximizing earnings while working in retirement.
