Yes. If you wait until your full retirement age to begin taking your benefit, there are no limits on your earnings. If you took early retirement, you can work, but your benefit may be offset.
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.
Later, then your full retirement age for retirement insurance benefits is 67. If you work, and are at full retirement age or older, you may keep all of your benefits, no matter how much you earn.
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.
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.
Generally, a veteran who entered active duty after September 7, 1980, must have served at least 24 months or the full period for which the veteran was called or ordered to active duty (with some exceptions), with at least one day during a wartime period.
