It depends upon your age. If you are what is to be considered "full retirement age" (for example, if you are 70 years old) you can earn as much as you want without paying taxes on your social security income.\n\nYou are allowed to retire as young as age 62 and collect partial social security benefits, but your social security will be reduced by $1 for every $2 that you earn above a certain limit.\n\nFor more information, contact your local Social Security office or go to their website at http://www.ssa.gov\n\nGood luck!

Talk to a licensed insurance agent in your state - or more than one.  The 276/mo for you is a decent rate depending upon your health and your state.  Take a look at your overall financial situation then ask if you have enough resources to retire or if you need to continue to work and for how long.\n\nGood Luck\nNote:  This is not a solicitation for sale of any insurance.

I'd stay in for 14 more years and get lifetime benefits. You can always pursue another job when you get out, or you can stay retired!!!

Check out the on line sites for retirement statistics. That will help you pinpoint the nest location for you. Remember, hospital access, housing, insurance rates, etc etc, Do some research in depth. It will pay off.

Social Security does not look at only the last five years.  It looks at your entire working career.\n\nYou may request a benefits estimate from them to get a better idea.

Been there 9 years.  Good medical, dental benefits for your family, stock option plans, 401k, and tuition reimbursement (although this last one was phased out this year). Like any organization, there are good people and there are bad.  My experience is that the good definitely outnumber the bad. Many of the managers will work with you, especially if you have family, on scheduling, etc.  Just show them you are an excellent employee. Take advantage of the stock, though; you get to purchase it at a 15% discount.

You must work for the state!!!

It depends on whether you work for the state or federal system.  I work in a federal prison, and the CO's can top out at over $50,000 a year once full time and grade are completed.  Federal correctional workers not only make a higher rate of salary than state workers; but because you are considered Federal Law Enforcement, you must retire with full benefits at age 57 :)  Because of this though, you must be hired prior to your 37th birthday.  Hope this helps you.

You should apply two to three months before retiring.  You'll get your first check soon after retirement (not eight months).\n\nFrom Findlaw:\nIt is important not to delay filing for either retirement or survivor benefits because you will get paid retroactive benefits only for the six months prior to the month you file your application, provided that you were eligible during those months. Retirement and survivor benefit applications take two to three months to process.

The Fair Practices Employment Board can help you.  The laws are different in each state, and sometimes local laws.  \n\nMy husband was laid off while he was on vacation.  He came back from our trip, went to work, and found out he didn't work there anymore.\n\nWe are still trying to find out how to get the retirement benefits he earned!!

I did.  After 20 years on social security disability, I went to work I kept getting my disability check for a year after I started work. That gives you a double income, but be careful not to get too used to the extra cash because it does end after that first year.  It also depends on how much you make per month.  You can earn a little over $800 a month and never lose your disability benefits.  After about 7 years I lost my Medicare coverage, but my job had benefits so that wasn't a problem.  The different things that apply to working with a disability can be very confusing, and if you call the SSA 800 number you will probably get even more confused because the people working the phones really don't have accurate answers every time you call.\nMy job was managing a center for independence for people with disabilities so I do have a lot of experience at this.\n\nThe down side is that because of budget cuts in California I lost my job two months ago.  Now I am unemployed and on state disability.  Back to square 1!

The Social Security office could help you with this question much more than the "public at large" can help you.  SS has strict guidlines about people who work after retiring, all according to the age of retirement.

I retired at 38, but that was 2 years earlier than I planned.  But, that is because I was self-employed.  My husband, on the other hand, will not retire until he is 62 1/2 in order to get his full social security benefits because he'd be a fool not to.  He's paid into it for 40 years and deserves every penny of it.  If he retires early, he would receive a lower monthly benefit.

As a nurse, the answer is no. Depending where and how long you work, you may have a great benefit and retirement package, but nothing you get is free. It's EARNED.

As a Financial Adviser I can confirm there are various life assurance companies that offer what is called income protection.  In reality 90% of people working in the UK need some form of income protection as this helps safeguard against long term and short term disability.  i.e. being unable to perform the functions of your daily employment.  Realistically employers will only continue paying salary for a short period of time between 5 days and 6 months.  If you have a mortgage for example, and have no accident and illness cover the government will only assist with your mortgage payments after 36 weeks (9 Months).  They only then pay the interest owed and none of the capital.  Please feel free to email me if you require any further assistance
