Social Security Matters
Ask Rusty--Working Septuagenarian Asks About Disability Benefits Dear Rusty: I retired at my full retirement age, am now 79 and will be 80 in December. I have been working consistently since. I get a meager Social Security benefit, only about $800 due to my federal retirement offset. Most jobs I have held since filing and collecting SS have involved very labor- intensive work, to include my current position.
