How much can you earn per year while collecting a pension and social security?

The amount you can earn while collecting a pension and Social Security benefits largely depends on your age and the specific rules of the pension plan and Social Security Administration (SSA). If you are under full retirement age, there is an earnings limit of $19,560 (as of 2022) where exceeding this amount could reduce your Social Security benefits. Once you reach full retirement age, you can earn any amount without affecting your Social Security benefits. It's important to check with your pension plan for any specific restrictions as well.
