The Social Security regulations state income guidelines. You can only make so much money from a paycheck before your Social Security check starts getting smaller. There is a program to help with supplementation, too. The Senior Companion Program offers those 60 and over the opportunity to earn a stipend that does not effect social security benefits, you need only report it for taxes. It is funded by the government and Riverside Health Systems and has been around for about 25 years.
Friendships develop from the situations.

Because of the debt facing Social Security, the guidelines are being modified with the goal of being around long enough to provide benefits to those who deserve them. The age limits are being raised because people are living longer and working longer. They are only being raised in small increments. This year you can claim full retirement benefits at age 65 but that is going to change to 67 soon.
