Part 2. If you are younger than Normal Retirement Age, getting Social Security retirement payments and still working, your Social Security payments will be reduced. You can earn wages up to the earnings limit of $14,640 with no reduced Social Security. In 2012, any money you make over the earnings limit of $14,640 will reduce your Social Security payments. Every $2 you make over the limit reduces your Social Security payments by $1. For 2013, that limit is $15,120.
You can work a little bit and still continue to get your Social Security benefits, Mitchell notes. In 2008, those who collect benefits before reaching the year of their full retirement age can earn up to $13,560 without penalty. Above that level of earnings, they will lose 50 cents of every benefit dollar. Working may decrease your retirement benefits until you reach your full retirement age.
