How many hours can you work as a teacher if you retired in 2008?

Answer 1

I do not believe it's a question of how many hours, but how much you can earn without it affecting your social security. I believe the the figure at present is $14,999.00. Any more than that can affect your social security. However, this is only for those who have retired early ( starting at age 62). Once you reach full retirement age, I do not believe they care how much you earn. Full time employment may be another story. Still, you really should contact social security for accurate information.

Answer 2

If the work is to be in a non-state school (a private school), provided that the school wants your services you can work as many hours as the headteacher and governors require, and this will not affect the pension that you are already receiving as a state school retiree.
