Briefly

I was approved for Social Security but told it's suspended because I'm still working - how do I "prove" I stopped?
"If you claim Social Security before reaching full retirement age (FRA), you'll be subject to an earnings-test limit, and exceeding it may lead to your benefits being partially withheld."
"A retiring teacher was approved for Social Security benefits but faced difficulties with the payment start date and proving her employment status to receive benefits."
Individuals can begin collecting Social Security benefits at age 62, but doing so while working can result in limitations based on earnings. If one exceeds the earnings-test limit before full retirement age, it could lead to a portion or the entirety of their benefits being withheld. A notable case involves a retiring teacher awaiting benefits but needing to prove cessation of work to receive payment. This situation raises awareness about the complexities of managing Social Security while still earning a salary.
