Can I Work And Still Receive My Social Security Check?

i am 63 i get widows support from my husband whos pass on can i still work and recivie my check from ssa

Hi. That depends on how much you are earning. For example, if you earn more than $19,560 in 2022, Social Security would need to withhold $1 of your benefits for each $2 that you earn in excess of that amount. Once you reach full retirement age, though, there will no longer be any limit on the amount that you could work and earn and still be paid all of your benefits.

By the way, if you're insured for Social Security benefits based on your own earnings history then you likely have a number of various filing options to consider. You may want to strongly consider using our software (https://maximizemysocialsecurity.com/purchase) to fully analyze all of your options so that you can determine your best strategy for maximizing your benefits.

Best, Jerry
