If you are under full retirement age for the entire year, we deduct $1 from your benefit payments for every $2 you earn above the annual limit. For 2017, that limit is $16,920. In the year you reach full retirement age, we deduct $1 in benefits for every $3 you earn above a different limit. In 2017, the limit on your earnings is $44,880 but we only count earnings before the month you reach your full retirement age.
Second, if you continue working after you claim Social Security benefits at less than full retirement age, those benefits would be reduced if you earn over a certain amount. Until you reach full retirement age, Social Security would reduce your benefits by $1 for every $2 you earned over a set yearly limit. (In 2009, the limit is $14,160.) This limit applies only to income you earn from current work, not from any pensions, investments, or other sources of income not derived from work you are doing at the time.
