I asked to reduce my hours to stay within Social Security’s earnings limit, but my employer thinks it’s illegal. What should I do?
Published: January 27, 2026Hi there,
I am assuming that you are younger than your full retirement age, FRA, and collecting retirement benefits while still working. Explain to your employer that you are subject to the SSA Retirement Earnings Test and share this information with them.
