How does the reduction in benefits associated with higher earnings affect people's incentive to work past age 65?
Social Security was originally intended to only be a supplement to retirement, with the majority of living expenses coming from savings, investments, etc. As such, a person still working past the earliest eligibility age would need less, or offset by a portion of the employment (i.e. losing $1 for each $2 earned) until full retirement age, when you can earn as much as you want without offsets. Also consider that if you earned more, in these latter years, than your least earnings in the highest 35 years of earnings, your benefits would actually increase, on average. If you earned less now, than your lowest income is those early years, your benefit would decrease. Also, consider that they may be using this method to help extend the Social Security program for a few more years.
