i am 64 years old and am collecting my widows benefit ss. My old employer has asked me to come in and help them out for a couple of weeks. Can I do this without being penalized on my ss



Hi,

Yes, unless your earnings will be higher than $16,920 this year (https://www.ssa.gov/planners/retire/whileworking2.html).
