As you know, Social Security has an earnings penalty, which governs how much money you can make while at the same time receiving benefits. Exceed an annual cap (it's currently $14,160 a year) and you'll lose part or even all of your benefit. However, the penalty applies only to people between 62 and full retirement age.

You can apply online, by phone (1-800-772-1213) or by going to a local Social Security office (call ahead for an appointment).
