What Happens When Social Security Takes Your Benefits Because You Work Too Much?
Working can cause you to temporarily forfeit some benefits, but you get the money back eventually.
Overview
Many people who claim Social Security do so because they've retired and they're ready to stop working. In some cases, however, you may want to double-dip and both work and collect benefits.
The problem is, if you try to do that before you've reached your full retirement age (FRA), your work could affect the amount of Social Security you actually get to bring home. Here's what you need to know about the rules before you start applying for jobs while getting your benefits.
