  • In this video, we're covering the new 2023 rules that apply if you want to work while collecting Social Security benefits. Then I'll answer some of the big questions like:
    → Does the Social Security Administration Look at Single or Joint Income?
    → What happens to benefits that are withheld if you go over the earnings limit?
    → How is the earnings limit actually applied?
    → When does the limit switch from an annual limit to a monthly limit?
    → Should you tell the social security administration if you are over the limit?
    → Will the earnings limit affect spousal or children's benefits?
    → What actually counts as Earnings?

      No, why should we be limited in how much we make after we retire? SS is not an entitlement program, this is money we put into the system while working. Why are we penalized for continuing to be productive? Why are we forced to wait for years sometimes if we are able to retire before 65 and then lose some of the money we've had taken out of our pay for decades?

    Retirees who struggle to meet their basic needs are the ones who could not accumulate enough money during their active years to meet their needs. Retirement choices determine a lot of things. My parents both spent same number of years in the civil service, but my mom was investing through a wealth manager, and my dad through the 401k.

      This is true. I'm in my mid 50's now. My wife and I were following this same trajectory. Last two years, I pulled out my money and invested with her wealth manager. Not catching up with her profits over the years, but at least I earn more. I'm making money even before retiring, and my retirement fund has grown way more than it would have with just the 401(k). Haha.

I've been making more than $287k passively by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Doesn't matter if the economy is misbehaving; great wealth managers will always make returns.

    My original retirement plan was to retire at 62, work part-time, and save money. However, high prices for everything have severely affected my plan. I'm concerned if people who went through the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am having now. The stock market is worrying me as my income has decreased, and I fear I won't have enough savings for retirement since I can't contribute as much as before.

      True, It has never been easier to understand how to build your money after retirement than it is right now with the inflation, when you may study and experience a completely variegated market passively by employing a successful portfolio-advisor. The impacts of the U.S. dollar's gain or fall on investments, in my opinion, are complex.

    I got this from a article I read awhile back that could be helpful
    What Is Considered Income for social security purposes?
    There is one final way you can still “work” and collect all of your Social Security at the time you expect it, rather than as deferred payments. Essentially, if all of your income is passive, you can earn as much as you’d like and it won’t have any ramifications on your Social Security earnings. Specifically, the SSA counts only wages or salary from a job, or the net profit from self-employment, as earnings. Investment income, pensions, veterans benefits, annuities, interest and government or military benefits are not counted.

    I had always planned to take social security at full retirement or later. Life happens and I am sitting here recovering from a broken arm and shoulder surgery. I have been considering taking social security now at 62 years and 5 months, then when I am able to go back to work. It’s my understanding that the income I receive after starting social security will increase my monthly benefits (as long as I make more money than a previous year used to calculate my benefit). The problem is I don’t know how to figure out how much difference I could make by doing this.

      The interesting thing about SSDI is that many states allow you to do a work trial for 9 months, (within a 60 month rolling time period) with an income "trigger" of $970, (soon to be $1050) and no income ceiling without losing benefits. But, some states, like mine, allow you to do a work trial for 9 months every two years.

    I am somewhat confused about a couple of things, mostly pertaining to information on the SSA website. I have been monitoring the graphs under the My Social Security window on the website for months. It shows that if I start early payments at age 64, 2 months (which I will be in January), my monthly benefit will be 1,680 (about 200 or so less than if I wait until FRA). My understanding was that if I collect early, that would be my payment as long as I stayed under the annual earnings limit. Is this correct? Because there was also a section on the SSA site that said if you still work and draw your benefits before FRA you only receive 800 per month.

After 90 days I filed for unemployment and after 6 months of unemployment, I repeated the cycle. I was earning 20/hr, so I didn't have any SSB income limit issues. Plus I always got the Max unemployment benefits. The government screws us so we have to learn how to screw the government. In 2024 I will reach my full retirement age.

    Concerning the limit you can earn from working while receiving benefits, I asked at the ssa office a month ago about this and I was told it was when I reach the one year mark from FRA or 65 1/2 (June 2023) that I can earn up to $56 K without penalty. You mention it was in the same calendar year, that sounds like a person would not be eligible to earn the higher amount until Jan 2024, even though that's only six months away from FRA instead of one year. Please clarify and thanks for the info.

    • @fredogden936
      @fredogden936 Рік тому +1

      I'm in a similar situation. I will reach my FRA, 66½, in February 2024. So, seems that calendar year threshold limit of $56k isn't available for me until January 2024. And, the monthly comparison would do little for me. So, the exercise of starting early wouldn't be worth the confusion. I do seem to recall there's a workaround if your FRA is in January, but that just adds insult to injury in my situation. I hope and plan to work until 2026. But I do need some extra cash now and don't want to make a 401k withdrawal. So, I'm disappointed about all this.
      To get off the subject a little and for a bit of levity, a lot of us peak (1957) boomers were born in late August or early September... since Christmas holidays + 9 months = lots of birthdays. I can't help but wonder if the February date for a large portion of applicants in a high birth rate year wasn't intentional on the part of those sly IRS actuaries. 😊

    I applied for my social security benefits in August 2021. I earned my 40th credit at the end of July. I turned 67 in July and already retired with 32 years in a civil service job in 2010. The social security agent I talked to on the phone told me that since I was still working and paying in to social security they would periodically raise my social security pension. So I worked about 40 years and 8 of those were on social security jobs. When the gas prices started going up I was driving 100 miles round trip to work a day and it was costing me a large percent of my pay, so I quit working. So on March 15th of 2022 I quit my job. Social security also did the WEP on me. So are they going to pay me a higher amount for the seven months more that I worked and paid social security taxes?
