In the past, if you worked and received benefits you were penalized if you earned too much. Those penalties are going down this year. $1 in benefits will be withheld for every $2 over the maximum earnings for those under age 65.

For those who are 66, but not yet full retirement age (66yrs, 2 months), $1 for every $3 earned over the limit will be held back. Once you reach full retirement age, there is no limit on what you can earn. And, any money previously withheld will be returned.

In 2016, the maximum earning amount was $118, 500. In 2017 that increases to $127, 200. This means approximately 12 million more people will be paying into social security this year.
