Q & A
I had additional earnings after I retired; will my monthly Social Security retirement benefit increase?
Answer: Each year we review the records for all working Social Security recipients to see if additional earnings may increase their monthly benefit amounts. If an increase is due, we figure a new benefit amount and pay the increase retroactive to January following the year of earnings.
