Retired people may work for pay, not lose S. S. benefits "Retired" doesn't mean you can't do any work at all. According Ac-cording to Don Donaldson, District Dis-trict Manager of the Provo Social Security Office, starting in 1968 you may earn up to $1,680 a year without losing any of your social security. Even though you earn considerably consid-erably more than that, you may still draw some benefits. Mr. Donaldson explained that the $1,680 limitation is combined with a sliding scale provision. Here's how it works: If you are working regularly and do not earn more than $1,680 a year in wages, no benefits will be withheld, and you will receive all of your social security benefits each month. Should you earn more than $1,680 a year, $1.00 will be withheld from your retirement retire-ment benefits for each $2.00 earned between $1,680 and $2,880. If you earn more than $2,880 $1.00 will be deducted from your benefits for each $1.00 you make over $2,880. Regardless Regard-less of how much you earn in a year, you will receive your full social security check for any month in which you do not earn more than $140 In wages and are not active in self-employment. You will also al-so get your benefit payment for any month in which you are 72 or over, no matter how much you earn in the year. For more information about how working after you apply for benefits will affect your retirement or survivors payments, pay-ments, your Social Security representative will be in Cedar Ce-dar City on Wednesday, June 23, between 9:00 a.m. and 12 noon, and 1:00 p.m. and 3:30 P-m.
