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.
Currently, the exempt amount is $15,480 for those below full retirement age. Those who will reach full retirement age this year can earn up to $41,400 in the months prior to reaching full retirement age. On the day they reach full retirement age, the earnings test stops. âThis statement, like so much that Social Security says on its website, is not the full truth.
