This question is an important one because many people living in retirement communities either need to or want to work in retirement. This question pertains to what is called the earning test. If you are under Full Retirement Age (FRA) when you start getting your Social Security payments (for example, you start taking benefits at 62), $1 in benefits will be deducted for each $2 you earn above the annual limit. For 2012 that limit is $14,640. In the year you reach your full retirement age (66 for baby boomers) $1 in benefits will be deducted for each $3 you earn above a different limit, but only counting earnings before the month you reach FRA. For 2012, this limit is $38,880; for 2007. There is NO limit on your earnings starting with the month you reach full retirement age.

How mch money can you make with out being penalized while collecting SS?

As of 2023, if you are under full retirement age and collecting Social Security benefits, you can earn up to $21,240 per year without facing a penalty. For every $2 you earn above this threshold, $1 will be withheld from your benefits. Once you reach full retirement age, there is no limit to how much you can earn while receiving Social Security benefits. Always check the latest guidelines, as amounts may change annually.

What can they do if you draw SS and work part time just to make ends meet?

You can draw Social Security retirement benefits while working, but if you earn more than an annual limit in your work (which is $15,480 for 2014), your Social Security benefits may be slightly reduced. The amount of reduction can vary based on if you are under full retirement age, too. If you are under full retirement age for the entire year, your Social Security payment will be reduced by $1 for every $2 you earn above the annual limit. If you earn below that $15,480 amount, though, you will not face any reduction in SS payments. If you reach full retirement age in the year, your SS is reduced by $1 for every $3 earned above that annual limit. Once you reach that full retirement age, you will get full benefits no matter how much you earn.
