Earnings Test. As of 2013, when you get SS benefits between the month you turn 62 and the month you reach full retirement age, you lose $1 in benefits for every $2 you earn from working in excess of $15,120. If you receive benefits for only part of a year, the earnings limit is prorated on a monthly basis.
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.
