In the United States, the earliest you can collect Social Security retirement benefits is age 62, unless the SSA determines you're fully disabled.

Disabled workers can earn as much as $1,000 per month, or $1,640 per month if legally blind, without being considered engaged in Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA); however, the Social Security Administration discourages people from working during the first 24 months following approval of a claim because it can cause your claim to be reevaluated and may result in termination of your disability status.

There is no limit on earned income once you reach full retirement age. If you were born before 1943, full retirement age is 65; between 1943 and 1954, retirement age is 66; between 1955 and 1960, retirement age gradually increases to 67.

At age 68, you have passed full retirement age (FRA) and can any amount without fear of your benefits being stopped or reduced.

For 2016, the limit is $15,720. (The amount goes up each year.)
These things don't count towards the limit:

  • Pensions
  • Annuities
  • Investment Income
  • Interest
  • Government or Military retirement benefits


If you are collecting Social Security retirement benefits before full retirement age (for the full year), than anything over this amount will result in your Social Security payments being reduced by $1 for every $2 earned.

Example: You earned $16,720. That's $1,000 over the allowed limit. $1,000/2=$500. Your benefit will be reduced by $500 for the year.

Starting the month you reach full retirement age, you will receive full benefits with no limit on your earnings.

There is no limit to the amount of money you can earn while receiving Social Security retirement benefits after you reach full retirement age. At 80, you are well clear of that mark.

At 70 a person would be on Social Security if they have the 40 quarters in from working. Not all people have pensions or retirement.

How much money can you make and still qualify for Social Security Disability benefits?

In 2010, People on disability can earn up to $1,000 per month ($12,000 per year) for most disabilities, or $1,640 per month ($19,680 per year) if legally blind. Earning more than these limits would be considered engaging in Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA), would trigger a continuing disability review, and likely result in termination of the person's disability status with Social Security.If you decide to return to work, the SSA allows nine non-consecutive months where earned income is unlimited; however, any month a disabled person earns more than $720.00 is counted toward the nine-month trial work period.Social Security disability benefits may be temporarily reduced if the person is also receiving Worker's Compensation or other public disability payments. The total amount of all sources of government disability income, including SSDI, cannot exceed 80% of the worker's average current earnings at the time of disability.SSDI benefits are based on the amount of money a worker paid in FICA (insurance) taxes during his or her working years, and is not means-tested. The Social Security Administration only cares about earned income as a measure of work performance. There is no limit on passive income a disabled person can receive from other sources, such as pension, annuities, capital gains, dividends, gifts, etc. There is also no limit to the amount of income other family or household members may earn. None of this money affects your SSDI disability benefits.Different rules apply for people who are on SSI(Supplemental Security Income, a form of welfare for the disabled) or a combination of SSDI and SSI, which is means-tested. Only the SSI portion of the person's income may change; the SSDI payments are affected exactly as detailed above.
