If I File At Age 62 And Earn Under $17,000 Yearly, Will SS Deduct Any Benefits From Me?

If I claim at 62, and continue to work part time earning under $17,000 yearly, will SS deduct any benefits from me? If so, how would that be implemented?

Hi,

Social Security won't withhold any of your benefits due to your earnings if you earn less than $17,640 this year. Before filing, though, you should strongly consider using our software to explore and compare your filing options in order to be sure you're choosing the best possible strategy for claiming your benefits.

Best, Jerry
