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.
If you are younger than full retirement age, there is a limit to how much you can earn and still receive full benefits. If you earn more than $15,720 (in 2016), Social Security will deduct $1 from your benefits for each $2 you earn over the threshold. In the year you reach full retirement age, you can earn up to $41,880 (in 2016) without having a reduction in benefits. However, if you exceed $41,880 in earnings, Social Security will deduct $1 from your benefits for each $3 you earn until the month you reach full retirement age.
