  • I delayed applying for my Social Security retirement until I was 68. My wife draws on the basis of my record, but she gets quite a bit less than 50% of my benefit.


  • Would you be kind enough to tell me the maximum monthly Social Security one can receive?


  • A person who received reduced benefits before his full retirement age can earn up to $17,640 in 2019. Is that figure net income, or adjusted gross income after deducting


  • I retired on July 31st of this year after paying into Social Security for 30 years. In the last 25 of those years I paid the maximum amount based on earnings.


  • I retired in February and received my first Social Security check, $1,102.00, on the second Wednesday of the month for 9 months. I will earn around $10,000 this year.


  • What are the Pros and Cons of Retiring at Age 66 vs. Age 70?


  • I want to begin benefits in August. How much can I work and earn while drawing SS benefits?


  • My husband was very careful in 2018 to not make a salary over the limit required to continue his Social Security. The company downsized and he was forced to leave.


  • I would like to collect Social Security. I’m 63 but I am told I can only earn 17,000/yr. Why do they have the right to tell me how much I can earn?


  • My husband took SS retirement at age 62 but has returned to full-time work due to financial need. He plans on working another 5 years.


  • I would like to begin receiving Social Security benefits at age 62.


  • I am nearing retirement age.


  • I am 64 and my Social Security benefit at age 66 will be $2,240.


  • When I receive my annual Social Security statement showing the benefit I am eligible for at various ages, does this amount include my wife’s spousal benefit?
