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.
In 2017, the annual earnings limit is $16,920. That means in 2017 you can earn up to $16,920 and continue to receive all your Social Security benefits. This is an increase from the limit of $15,720 which applied in 2015 and 2016. If you earn over $16,920, there are a set of rules that determine how much your Social Security benefits will be reduced. There are three different earnings limit rules that apply, depending on whether you earn the income before, during, or after the year your reach full retirement age. Each option is covered below.
