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.
Social Security does not set a minimum retirement benefit, whether or not you continue working after you retire and apply for benefits. To qualify for Social Security retirement, you must work and earn at least 40 work credits, by paying in to the Social Security system through payroll taxes. You can earn a maximum of 4 credits every year. If you don't have the work credits, then you can't draw any retirement.
