Side Hustle & Social Security: What You Need to Know

from The Daily News Now! Business

Earning extra cash through a side hustle while collecting Social Security can significantly impact your benefits. Your monthly check is based on your top 35 earning years, adjusted for inflation. Side income might replace low or zero earning years, potentially increasing your payout. However, if youre under full retirement age, earnings over a certain threshold can temporarily reduce your benefits. Additionally, higher earnings can increase your adjusted gross income, potentially taxing a larger portion of your Social Security benefits. Plan ahead to avoid surprises and maximize your benefits.
