How Much Can I Earn If I Take Benefits Early?
My full retirement age is age 66.
I will turn 66 in December of 2018.
If I decide to take my SS at age 65 in February of 2018 before reaching FRA and continue to work for several months how much can I make being employed before they start penalizing my SS?Mike
Hi Mike,
The exempt amount of earnings for people who reach full retirement age (FRA) in 2017 is $44,880. The 2018 exempt amount won't be announced until late next year, but it shouldn't be any less than $44,880.
