FAQ
Some American workers do not qualify for Social Security retirement benefits. Workers who don't accrue the requisite 40 credits (roughly 10 years of employment) are not eligible for Social Security. Some government and railroad employees are not eligible for Social Security.
You can start receiving your Social Security retirement benefits as early as age 62. However, you are entitled to full benefits only when you reach your full retirement age. If you delay taking your benefits from your full retirement age up to age 70, your benefit amount will increase.
Indeed, here are three ways you can lose at least part of your Social Security benefit. No. 1: Keep working while taking benefits early. No. 2: Be a substantially lower-earning spouse. No. 3: Be alive in 2034. Social Security still provides an important foundation for retirement.
Infrequent workers: Individuals who have insufficient earnings to qualify for Social Security, but are not late-arriving immigrants. Non-covered workers: Individuals with sufficient earnings, but who work in non-covered employment (primarily state and local government employees).
The earnings limit for people reaching their “full” retirement age in 2025 will increase to $62,160. (We deduct $1 from benefits for each $3 earned over $62,160 until the month the worker turns “full” retirement age.) There is no limit on earnings for workers who are "full" retirement age or older for the entire year.
Here are some of the most common reasons for a denial of Social Security benefits: Your monthly income exceeds $940. Your disability will last less than a year. You failed to heed your doctor's instructions.
