Working After Claiming Retirement Benefits

The brief’s key findings are: ...

  • Our results show that about 40 percent of individuals work at some point after claiming, typically for several years and for non-trivial earnings.
  • Most of them are lower lifetime earners who claim around 62 and then work part time, so they may struggle to delay Social Security claiming.
  • The rest are higher earners who often work full time after claiming near the full retirement age, suggesting they may be able to further delay claiming. ...

    Many low income workers continue to work in order survive and exceed the earnings limit without notifying Social Security. They worry about paying the overpayment the following years. The question is why do we have earning limits since they are entitled to their Social Security benefits.
