Will Returning To Work Impact My Current Social Security?
I am 79 years old. I am drawing about $2200 Social Security per month. I am going back to work. Will this impact my current Social Security?
Hi,
Returning to work definitely wouldn't have a negative effect your benefits, and it could even result in a higher benefit rate if you're receiving benefits based on your own work record and if you earn more in a year than you did in one of your previous highest 35 years of wage-indexed earnings (https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10070.pdf).
Best, Jerry
