It is widely known that waiting until full retirement age will raise benefits, compared to those received if you retire before that age. Hence, you must be saying something else. Are you saying that Social Security keeps track of the benefits a person loses due to the earnings test and awards that person a lump sum amount equal to those lost benefits when that person reaches normal retirement age? I don't believe this is true. I have never heard this before. Quote the rule or regulation from the Social Security Administration that says this. Jim

Don't expect to hear this from Social Security
Social Security offers supposedly knowledgeable advisors when you call for help. Don't expect to hear this information from them. Thanks for the tip, Liz.
