âšī¸ Monthly Earnings Limit for 2025
Social Security allows you to receive benefits in any month your earnings are below $1,950, regardless of your annual earnings.
Important: Only earnings after you start receiving benefits count toward the earnings test.
â° Important Reminder About Benefit Timing
Social Security benefits are paid one month after you're entitled to them. For example:
- If you start benefits in January, you'll receive your first payment in February.
- The monthly earnings test applies to January (the month you're entitled to benefits), not February (when you receive the payment).
đ How Benefits Are Withheld
If your earnings exceed the limits, Social Security will withhold some of your benefits:
- If you're under full retirement age for the entire year: $1 in benefits will be withheld for every $2 you earn above $23,400.
- In the year you reach full retirement age: $1 in benefits will be withheld for every $3 you earn above $62,160, but only for months before you reach full retirement age.
Once you reach full retirement age, there is no limit on your earnings.
