Full retirement age is the age at which a person may first become entitled to full or unreduced retirement benefits. No matter what your full retirement age (also called "normal retirement age") is, you may start receiving benefits as early as age 62 or as late as age 70.You can retire at any time between age 62 and full retirement age. However, if you start benefits early, your benefits are reduced a fraction of a percent for each month before your full retirement age. No mater how much or little you make, you don't get full benefits at 62.With that said, once you exceed a certain threshold, the benefits you can receive before full retirement age may be further reduced based on your earnings If you are under full retirement age for the entire year, they deduct $1 from you benefit payments for every $2 you earn above the annual limit; for 2016, that limit is $15,720.The year you reach full retirement age, they deduct $1 in benefits for every $3 you earn above a different limit, but they only count earnings before the month you reach your full retirement age.If you will reached full retirement age in 2016, the limit on your earnings for the months before full retirement age was $41,880.Starting with the month you reach full retirement age, you can get your benefits with no limit on your earnings.
According to the Social Security Administration: "If you were born January 2, 1943, through January 1, 1955, then your full retirement age for retirement insurance benefits is 66. If you work and are full retirement age or older, you may keep all of your benefits, no matter how much you earn. If you are younger than full retirement age, there is a limit to how much you can earn and still receive full Social Security benefits. If you are younger than full retirement age during all of 2009, we must deduct $1 from your benefits for each $2 you earned above $14,160. If you reach full retirement age during 2009, we must deduct $1 from your benefits for each $3 you earn above $37,680 until the month you reach full retirement age."
The amount of money you can make while collecting Social Security depends on your age and whether you have reached full retirement age. If you are under full retirement age, there is a limit to how much you can earn before your Social Security benefits are reduced. Once you reach full retirement age, there is no limit on how much you can earn while collecting Social Security.
As of 2021, if you are under full retirement age, you can earn up to 18,960 per year before your Social Security benefits are reduced. If you earn more than this amount, your benefits will be reduced by 1 for every 2 you earn above the limit.
Since you were born before 1955, you have reached full retirement age and there is no cap on how much you can earn while still receiving benefits without a penalty.
You can make as much as you want. However, if you start drawing Social Security benefits before full retirement age you can earn $16,920/yr. for 2017. If you earn more than that, one dollar in benefits will be withheld for every $2 in earnings above the limit. Once you reach full retirement age, that limit stops.

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.
