Is It True That At Age 70 The Amount I Earn Will Be Limited?

I am almost 68, collecting social security and self-employed. I was recently told that at age 70, the income I personally earn would be limited. Is that correct?

Hi. No, at least as far as Social Security is concerned. Once you reach full retirement age (FRA), none of your Social Security benefits would be withheld regardless of how much you earn.

Best, Jerry
