Can I Still Work Part-Time Without Losing My Benefits?

I am 71 years old. I am currently receiving Louisiana teacher retirement and spousal social security benefits. Can I still work part-time without loosing my benefits?

Hi. At least as far as your Social Security benefits are concerned, since you are over your full retirement age you can earn any amount of money without losing your benefits. My expertise is limited to Social Security benefits, though, so I don't know if your teacher retirement has any work restrictions.

Best, Jerry
