Can You Collect Social Security While Still Working in 2026? Here's How It Works.
Your age will determine the rules behind doing so.
Overview
Social Security is generally synonymous with retirement, but that doesn't mean you have to stop working when you claim benefits. Since you can begin claiming Social Security benefits at age 62, plenty of people claim them and continue working.
If you've reached your full retirement age -- which is 67 for anyone born in 1960 or later -- you're free to work as much as you want without an impact on your Social Security. If you claim benefits before your full retirement age, you can still work as much as you want, but earning over a certain amount could temporarily reduce your monthly benefit.
