If I Take A Job Will I Lose Some Of My Benefits?
I am 69 years old and drawing social security. My husband died Feb. 2022 and I am now drawing widow's benefits to match what he was drawing. If I take a custodian job at my church that pays $1300 a month, will I lose the extra social security I started receiving and go back to my original amount?
Hi. I'm sorry for your loss. The answer to your question is no. Since you are over full retirement age (FRA), you won't lose any of your Social Security benefits if you start working regardless of how much you earn.
Best, Jerry
