How Much Money Is My Grandson Allowed To Make?

I am raising my grandson who father died when he was nine--He receives around 600.00 a month benefits from Social Security. He just got a part time job and makes around 600.00 a month. How much money is he allowed to make- I don't want him to lose his benefits or insurance- He will be 17 in July-Thanks

Hi,

Your grandson could earn up to $17,040 this year without losing any of his benefits (https://www.ssa.gov/planners/retire/whileworking.html).

Best, Jerry
