If I take early retirement at age 62 but do not receive all of my Social Security benefits because of work, will I always be reduced for age 62?
No. Social Security refigures the reduction factor in the month full retirement age is attained. At that time, any month for which a benefit was not paid because of the annual earnings test is eliminated from the reduction factor. The new higher benefit is payable for the month of attainment of full retirement age and all subsequent months.
