Higher Earnings Possible For older people and other beneficiaries who continue to work, the recent changes in social security will enable them to make more money and still draw some or all of their social security bene fits The amount of money a person can earn in a year and still draw all his social security benefits has been raised Beginning with 1968, a person who makes as much as $1,680 can still collect all of his social security bene fits. Even if he earns con siderably more than that, he may still draw some benefits. The old law had set that limit at $1,500, through 1967. Here's how it works. If you are working regularly and do not earn more than $1,680 a year in wages, you will re ceive all of your social se curity benefits each month. If you are working regu larly and make more than $1,680 a year, $1 will be with held from your benefits for each $2 you make over $1,680, and up to $2,880 If you make more than $2,880, $1 will be deducted from your benefits for each $1 you make above that amount However, regardless of your total earnings for the year, you will receive your social security check for any month in which you do not earn more than $l4O in wages and are not active in self employment This means that you could make any amount over $1,680 a year, and still receive your checks for any month that you do not work, but with deduc tions against the months you do work of what great American occurs on April 12th? 7.
