What happens if I go back to work after starting Social Security?

You can get Social Security retirement or survivors benefits and work at the same time. However, there is a limit to how much you can earn and still receive full benefits. If you are younger than full retirement age and earn more than the yearly earnings limit, we may reduce your benefit amount.

You can work while you receive Social Security retirement or survivors benefits. When you do, it could mean a higher benefit for you and your family. Each year, we review the records of all Social Security beneficiaries who have wages reported for the previous year. If your latest year of earnings is one of your highest years, we recalculate your benefit and pay you any increase you are due. The increase is retroactive to January of the year after you earned the money. If you receive survivors benefits, the additional earnings could help make your retirement benefit higher than your current survivors benefit. How Much Can I Earn and Still Get Benefits? When you begin receiving Social Security retirement benefits, you are considered retired for our purposes. You can get Social Security retirement or survivors benefits and work at the same time. However, there is a limit to how much you can earn and still receive full benefits. If you are younger than full retirement age and earn more than the yearly earnings limit, we may reduce your benefit amount. If you are under full retirement age for the entire year, we deduct $1 from your benefit payments for every $2 you earn above the annual limit. For 2023, that limit is $21,240. In the year you reach full retirement age, we deduct $1 in benefits for every $3 you earn above a different limit. In 2023, this limit on your earnings is $56,520. We only count your earnings up to the month before you reach your full retirement age, not your earnings for the entire year. If your earnings will be more than the limit for the year and you will receive retirement benefits for part of the year, we have a special rule that applies to earnings for one year. The special rule lets us pay a full Social Security benefit for any whole month we consider you retired, regardless of your yearly earnings. If you receive survivors benefits, we use your full retirement age, for retirement benefits when applying the annual earnings test (AET) for retirement or survivors benefits. Although the full retirement age for survivors benefits may be earlier, for AET purposes, we use your full retirement age for retirement benefits. This rule applies even if the beneficiary is not entitled to retirement benefits. Read our publication, “How Work Affects Your Benefits,” for more information. When you reach full retirement age: Beginning with the month you reach full retirement age, your earnings no longer reduce your benefits, no matter how much you earn. We will recalculate your benefit amount to give you credit for the months we reduced or withheld benefits due to your excess earnings.

Will I lose my SSDI if I inherit money?

If you are set to receive an inheritance, you may be wondering, “does an inheritance affect Social Security disability benefits?” The short answer is no, receiving an inheritance will not affect your Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits, but it can affect your Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

Social Security Disability Insurance, or SSDI, is government aid paid to an individual who becomes disabled that is funded by their previous payroll contributions to the Social Security trust fund. To receive SSDI, one must be eligible under Social Security’s definition of disabled. This “insurance” is made possible through contributions to FICA, either by yourself, a spouse, or a family member. (FICA stands for the Federal Insurance Contributions Act; it is a U.S. federal payroll tax deducted from each paycheck). In other words, if you are eligible for Social Security disability benefits, you have earned those benefits by working and paying payroll taxes to the Social Security Administration (SSA). The aid provided monthly is calculated through the worker’s lifetime average earnings by the SSA. SSDI can be given directly to you, or to your spouse or children. SSDI benefits could be reduced if you receive worker’s compensation benefits, but not necessarily for other sources of income or revenue (more on this below).

How is SSI different from SSDI?

The difference between the SSDI and SSI programs, or the Supplemental Security Income program, is that SSI is a cash assistance program for blind, aged, or disabled persons (including children) based on general tax revenues, rather than one’s contributions to Social Security. (More details on SSI below).
