Part 2. If you are younger than Normal Retirement Age, getting Social Security retirement payments and still working, your Social Security payments will be reduced. You can earn wages up to the earnings limit of $14,640 with no reduced Social Security. In 2012, any money you make over the earnings limit of $14,640 will reduce your Social Security payments. Every $2 you make over the limit reduces your Social Security payments by $1. For 2013, that limit is $15,120.
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.
