Meet Ida May Fuller, the First Lady of Social Security...
When President Roosevelt signed the new Social Security program into law in 1935 it was a godsend for millions of Americans. The program was not paid for from existing income taxes but rather with a small tax on your paycheck (Acronym F**A). Over 90 years later the program is still a critical lifeline for many Americans.
In her working career Ida contributed a total of $24.75 to the program. Ida also had the honor of receiving check # 00-000-001 from the social security administration. What we love about Ida’s situation is that she received a lot of them! We are happy to report that Ida lived to age 100!

You can work while collecting Social Security. Often retirees choose to enjoy “fun” jobs, and the extra money nicely supplements their retirement budget. Please be aware that Social Security reductions may apply!

Reductions in your benefit are imposed if all the following apply to your situation:
• You are working
• You are receiving Social Security benefits
• You are under your full retirement age. (If you were born after 1960, your full retirement age is 67.)
• You earn more than $24,480 (limit for 2026)
• Your social security check will shrink $1 For every $2 earned above this limit!

The good news is that once full retirement age is reached no penalties apply. Even better, after reaching full retirement age, any benefits withheld in prior years are credited.

Please contact us if we can help you better understand your very important social security benefits.
