When Will We Know The Substantial Earnings Amount Required For 2024?

When will we know the substantial Earnings amount required for 2024? What is it?

Hi. I assume that you're referring to the substantial earnings amount used when determining the substantial earnings exception to the Windfall Elimination Provision (https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10045.pdf). Social Security generally announces annual changes in the first part of October. So, the substantial earnings amount in 2024 will likely be announced in the first part of October 2023.

Best, Jerry
