   I began collecting my SS this year at age 62 with intent of changing my full time work hours to Part time. However the pandemic occurred and as an essential worker /RN, I continued working full time. Will there be any provisions for essential workers who made more than 18,300 & collected SS, to not have to pay back the excess earned to the government?

     Hi Denise, thank you for using our blog. Currently, we do not have any information to that effect. The Social Security annual earnings limits are the same for all beneficiaries. If you are under full retirement age for the entire year, then we deduct $1 from benefit payments for every $2 earned above the annual limit. For 2020, that limit is $18,240. There is a special earnings limit rule for those that retire mid-year and have already earned more than the yearly earnings limit.

     The Getting Benefits While Working web page provides more details. We hope this is helpful.

     Hi Todd, thank you for your question. Social Security has special rules that make it possible for people with disabilities receiving Social Security Disability (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) to work and still receive monthly payments. These are called work incentives.

     For SSDI beneficiaries, there is a Trial Work Period (TWP) and then an Extended Period of Eligibility (EPE). The TWP allows you to test your ability to work for at least 9 months. During this period, you will receive your full disability benefit regardless of how much you earn as long as your work activity is reported and you continue to have a disabling impairment.

     Once you’ve completed your TWP, you get a 36-month safety net called the EPE. During the EPE, you get benefits for all months your earnings or work activities are below the Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA) level as long as you continue to have a disabling impairment. Social Security will suspend cash benefits for months earnings are over SGA and start benefits again if earnings fall below the SGA level.

     Check out Social Security’s Red Book for the Special Rules for Persons who are Blind.

   Go to ‘get my payment’ and just put in your Information and it will tell you the status of your payment. It’s very simple and it works.
