This used to be simple but not anymore. The important words are Full Retirement Age. Today, Full Retirement Age increases gradually for people born after 1938. If you are just now 65 then you were born in about 1950. If You Were Born Between 1943 And 1954 your Full Retirement Age is 66. So the following rules apply to you:

o If you will not be 66 until sometime in 2016 they deduct $1 from your benefit payments for every $2 you earn above $15,720. That is, you can earn $15,720 with no penalty. If you make more than $15,720 your benefit will be reduced by one dollar for every two dollars you earn about that amount.

o If you reach 66 in 2015, they deduct $1 in benefits for every $3 you earn above $41,880. But, only your earnings beforethe month you reach 66 are counted. Meaning you can earn $41,880 before the month you become 66 with no penalty. Starting with the month you reach 66, you will get full benefits with no limit on your earnings.

Just to make it more confusing, these limits may change in 2016.

Depends. It isn't the same for everyone. You have to have 40 quarters of working and what you get is based on what you earn.

You can make as much money as you want if you are on Social Security. If you are younger than a specified age, your Social Security payment will be reduced by a fraction of the money you make that is greater than a set amount (one dollar for every three dollars you make over that amount).
