Social Security and Still Employed

by Peggy Brooks
(Stapleton,Ga.)

I will be 62 May 2011. If I choose to get Social Security Benefits, how much am I allowed to make if I stay at current?

Wendy's Reply: How much can you earn and still get benefits? You can earn up to $14,160 in 2010.

If you go past the maximum, from age 62 through full retirement age, Social Security will reduce your benefit by $1 for each $2 you earned above $14,160.

Hope this helps!
