Social Security Rules For New Retirees

FYI: (Click On Article Title At Top Of Google Search)

I've received several questions from financial advisers recently asking what will happen to their clients who claim Social Security this year after they have already earned more than the annual earnings limit. Will their benefits be reduced or even eliminated?
Regards,
Ted

  • Often people think that if SS reduces their checks because they're working, they're being penalized for that work. They're not - the benefits are just deferred, as stated in the final paragraph:
    Benefits lost to excess earnings are not gone forever. Once you reach full retirement age, your monthly benefit will increase to account for those months in which benefits were withheld.
