How much money can you make on regular Social Security?

You can make as much money as you want if you are on Social Security. If you are younger than a specified age, your Social Security payment will be reduced by a fraction of the money you make that is greater than a set amount (one dollar for every three dollars you make over that amount). But the result is always that you have more money than you would if you were on Social Security alone.


How much money has been taken from social security and put into the general fund?

The Social Security Trust Fund was established in 1939 to receive monies collected for Social Security through payroll taxes. The monies in this fund are managed by the Department of the Treasury; they are not, nor have they ever been, put into the "general operating fund."However, the Social Security Act specifies that the monies in the fund may "be invested in securities backed by the full faith and credit of the Federal government," such as treasury bills, treasury notes, and treasury bonds, as well as special issue bonds. So, essentially, the government can "invest" Social Security funds by lending them to itself, then spending that money on programs not related to Social Security (e.g., defense, foreign aid, education). This has always been the case.During the Johnson administration, Social Security and other Federal programs that operate through trust funds were counted officially in the budget. This did not mean that it was actually part of the general fund, rather that it was finally recorded as part of the budget.
