Hi,

For earnings test purposes Social Security goes by when you earn your wages, not when the wages are paid. So, if you're planning to draw reduced retirement benefits for the month of June based on the monthly earnings test (https://www.ssa.gov/planners/retire/rule.html) you should be fine as long as you don't actually earn more than $1470 in June. You might want to hold on to your pay slips so that you can verify your monthly earnings if necessary.

Best, Jerry
