Death usually stops taxes pretty well. If you earn income (which includes receiving a pension), expect to pay taxes on it for as long as you are alive.
The above may be correct for income taxes, but NOT nessasarilarly for FICA/Medicare, which are actually considered insurance. Your age, and if your collecting any benefit already, and if you get an increased beenfit with additional earnings are all factors to answering this.
