I am 79 years old. I am drawing about $2200 Social Security per month. I am going back to work. Will this impact my current Social Security?

Hi,

Returning to work definitely wouldn't have a negative effect your benefits, and it could even result in a higher benefit rate if you're receiving benefits based on your own work record and if you earn more in a year than you did in one of your previous highest 35 years of wage-indexed earnings (https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10070.pdf).

I can get society security money because I having work enough so what can I do I been try and they told me I don't have enough pointi can work because I am too old. So can u help me

Hi,

If you believe that you have sufficient work credits to qualify for Social Security benefits and Social Security is telling you that you don't, you can still insist on filing a claim for benefits. Then, if your claim is disallowed you would have appeal rights (https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10041.pdf).

Larry, I turn 70 on December 31 of this year. I am in the process of completing the application for retirement benefits, intending to submit online.
I am employed by my S corporation business and receive a W-2 earnings statement each year. I file quarterly payroll returns. My question is this: Is there any way I can get "credit" with Social Security for my upcoming Q4 payroll, which normally I would submit by January 15 - in this case, in 2020 which falls after I have turned 70 and have already applied for benefits?
Thank you!

Hi,

Hi Larry, I've been seeing various articles regarding the changes to Social Security benefits due to the FRA change that is supposed to occur in 2021. Is this true, will I lose money waiting until I turn 70 in September of 2021 compared to filing in December of 2020?

Thanks,
Tony

Hi Tony,

My husband stopped working to take care of his elderly parents at age 58 he is still taking care of them if he never goes back to work will he be eligible for SSN when he turns either 62 or 65?

Hi,

I start ed taking my SS benefits at full retirement age. But i started a new position with a salary increase. Will my SS benefits amount be reevaluated up annually to include my new salary?

Hi,

Yes, your Social Security retirement benefit rate can be recomputed following any year in which you have Social Security covered earnings. Your earnings would have to be higher than in one of your previous 35 highest wage- indexed earnings years in order to result in a benefit increase, however.

I was told that all my earnings after age 70 (when I started benefits) are NOT considered in calculating my benefits, even if they are my highest earnings years. Is that true?

Hi,

My spouse died before I turned 60. He was receiving social security benefits. I remarried before I started collecting widow benefits. Now at age 65 I am receiving disability as at a discounted rate, because my husband receives disability ss and I am receiving a payment from worker compensation. just received a letter from ss saying they were taking me off of disability and putting on retirement ss. Is it true that they look at your past 5 years to determine your monthly benefit. Can I still receive my deceased husband's benefits? I am still disabled and cannot work.

Larry, I'm 59 and 2018 was my last year working. According to Social Security my benefit at FRA would be $2449.00 a month, but that's based on "future" estimated earnings. What should I really expect my benefits to be at the age 67 since I'm no longer working?

Hi,

i retired at 60... however all my social security estimates are based on continued work until i am at fra.... my question is how do i figure out my actual ss payment with out future income calculations?
