You can earn any amount and still collect some of your SSB at the age of 63 but if you earn more than 14160 in the year 2009 or 2010 the earning test amount will apply to above this amount until the year that you reach your FRA the earnings test amount will apply and the amounts usually change each year.

Earnings limits for 2011 are unchanged from 2010.

The earnings limit for 2011 for people below full retirement age (65 for people born before 1943; 66 for those born between 1943 and 1954) is $14,160.

If you retire at age 63, you can earn any amount before retirement without incurring a penalty; however, once you retire, you can only earn $1,180 per month. If you earn more than the income limit, SSA will deduct $1.00 for every extra $2.00 earned.

Your benefit check will be withheld beginning in January of the following year until the overage is completely offset. This can result in no Social Security income for a number of months, depending on how far you went over the limit.

Earnings limits in 2011 are unchanged from 2010. For the 2011 tax year, the answer depends on your age and whether you're drawing Social Security benefits for retirement or disability.

Retirement

If you've reached full retirement age (65 for people born prior to 1943; 66 for people born between 1943 and 1954), there is no limit to how much you can earn.

In the year you reach full retirement age, you can earn $37,680 annually, but for every $3.00 over the limit, $1.00 is withheld from your benefits until the month your reach full retirement age.

If you are under full retirement age, you can earn $14,160 per year without incurring a penalty. For every $2.00 over the limit, $1.00 is withheld from benefits.

Disability

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) for anyone 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 an end to the person's disability status with Social Security.

Any month a disabled person earns more than $720.00 is counted toward the nine-month trial work period, and may result in a continuing disability review (CDR).

How much money can you earn working while collecting social secruity you are 62 years of age?

Social Security payments received upon retirement depend almost entirely on the amount of money that has been paid into the system in the working years before that time. How much work is done and what income is earned are the main factors. Also important are the legal guidelines of the Social Security system itself at the time of one's retirement.

Are teachers who receive state retirement ever able to collect Social Security My State says no. Do I have to move to one of the 14 States without state pensions I need more info?

It depends on several factors. First of all if your entire working career has been as a teacher in one of the 14 states whose teachers do not pay into social security, then the answer would be that you would receive no social security benefit because you never paid any money into it. Now, lets say you work as a teacher for 15 years in a state whose teachers DO pay into social security, such as Pennsylvania. You then decide to work for 15 years as a teacher in Ohio whose teachers do NOT pay into social security. Once you retire, you would indeed get social security due to the fact you worked 15 years in PA and paid into SS. HOWEVER, you would take a hit (called the Windfall Provision) because you are also collecting money from Ohio's pension.
