QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
Question: I am 65 but don’t
see why I should apply for
social security benefits since I
am working full time at my
regular job.
—Answer: You should apply
because there have been
changes in the law which make
it possible for older people to
earn more and still collect some
social security benefits. Under
the law as it now stands, you
can receive all your social se
curity checks if your yearly
earnings are $1,200 or less. If
your yearly earnings are be
tween $1,200 and $1,700, one
dollar in benefits is withheld
from vour total yearly bene
fits for each two dollars that
you earn in that bracket. One
dollar for each dollar earned is
withheld for your earnings
above $1,700. For example, if
you earn $2,000 a year, only
$550 of your yearly social se
curity benefits would be with
held. Also, you can get a pay
ment for any month that you
do not work or in which you
earn less than $100, regardless
of your total yearly earnings.
Question: I notice that my
social security tax is shown as
FICA tax on my W - 2 form.
What does FICA stand for?
Answer: FICA taxes and so
cial security taxes are the
same. FICA is simply the ini
tials for the Federal Insurance
Contributions Act, which is
comonly known as the Social
Security Act,
