You should also realize that working while you receive social security retirement can reduce your benefits. If you are not yet at full retirement age, $1 in benefits is deducted for every $2 you earn above the annual limit. In the year that you will reach your full retirement age, $1 in benefits is deducted for every $3 you earn above the annual limit. When you reach full retirement, you are allowed to work as much as you would like with no reduction in benefits. To receive your social security benefits, you will need to apply either online or at your local SSA office two to three months before your projected retirement date.
