If you are among the millions of Jeopardy! fans, you are familiar with the category of Potpourri. You know, it’s a little of this and a little of that. Well, we want to start the year by highlighting various Social Security changes for 2023. We’re calling this our Potpourri of Numbers:
-
$1,640 – Amount of Social Security-taxed earnings needed to earn one work credit. You need 40 overall to
be eligible for a retirement benefit, but you can only earn four in a year regardless of your total earnings.
-
$160,200 – Maximum amount of earnings on which you pay Social Security (FICA) tax.
-
$21,240 – Allowable earnings amount for workers receiving Social Security but who are not yet in their Full
Age year. If amount is exceeded, $1 in benefits will be withheld for every $2 over.
-
$56,520 – Allowable earnings amount for workers receiving Social Security in their Full Age Year. If amount
exceeded, withholding is $1 for every $3 over. Upon reaching your Full Age month, there is no earnings limit.
-
$1,470 – Monthly gross earnings amount used to determine if a disabled individual is working at a
“substantial” level. If yes, benefits may not be payable.
-
$914 – Monthly maximum standard federal payment for a single individual receiving Supplemental Security
Income (SSI).
