FAQ
You can get Social Security retirement benefits and work at the same time. However, if you are younger than full retirement age and make more than the yearly earnings limit, we will reduce your benefits. Starting with the month you reach full retirement age, we will not reduce your benefits no matter how much you earn.
You will be eligible for a service retirement benefit when you reach age 55 and have five or more years of credited member service. If you are a Tier 3 member, you may retire under Article 14 or Article 15. However, your benefit, in most cases, will be greater under Article 15.

The Social Security earnings limit is $1,860 per month or $22,320 per year in 2024 for someone who has not reached full retirement age. If you earn more than this amount, you can expect to have $1 withheld from your Social Security benefit for every $2 earned above the limit.

Age may be just a number, but that number matters when it comes to retiring. The common definition of early retirement is any age before 65 — that's when you may qualify for Medicare benefits. Currently, men retire at an average age of 64, while for women the average retirement age is 62.
If you're younger than full retirement age, there is a limit to how much you can earn and still receive full Social Security benefits. If you're younger than full retirement age during all of 2025, we must deduct $1 from your benefits for each $2 you earn above $23,400.

Tier 3 and Tier 4 Members Meanwhile, Tier 4 includes those who joined between September 1, 1983, and December 31, 2009. In both tiers, members can retire at age 62 with full benefits, though they may retire as early as age 55 with reduced benefits if they have completed at least five years of service.
Local Labor Laws: Some regions may have regulations regarding the employment of retirees, especially if they are receiving certain benefits.
