Hi,

Yes, you can. There is no limit on earnings or any other type of income once you reach full retirement age. Before you make a decision on when to start drawing, however, you may wish to run the maximization software available on this website. Depending on your marital history, life expectancy and many other factors, there may be better filing options available to you.

Best, Jerry
