These organisms are classified as a kingdom, Fungi, which is separate from the other eukaryotic life kingdoms of plants and animals. A characteristic that places fungi in a different kingdom from plants, bacteria, and some protists is chitin in their cell walls.
If you will reach full retirement age in 2015, you may earn up to $3,490 per month without losing any of your benefits. But for every $3 you earn over that amount in any month, you will lose $1 in Social Security benefits.
The âearnings testâ essentially says recipients who still work and havenât reached full retirement age can have their Social Security payments reduced if they earn more than a certain amount. If you are taking Social Security benefits now and wonât reach full retirement age after 2017, the exempt amount you can earn for working has gone from $15,720 to $16,920, an increase of 7.6%. But any $2 you earn over that threshold will result in a $1 benefit reduction.
