Can I Still Work Until My Retirement Checks Start?

If I retire in January at the age of 64; can I still work until my retirement checks start in March?

Hi,

In order not to lose any of your benefits next year, you would either have to earn no more than $17,040 for the calendar year of 2018, or no more than $1420 in any of the months for which you are entitled to benefits.

Best, Jerry
