Has The 2018 Substantial Earnings Amount Been Set?
Has the 2018 amount been set for "substantial earnings" re: the WEP provision for years of credit? (How much does one need to earn in 2018 for it to count as a year of credit to avoid a WEP-based reduction in Social Security benefit?)
Hi,
Yes, the 2018 substantial earnings amount for the years of coverage exception to WEP is $23,850.
Best, Jerry
