psychoanalyst asked:
My mom receives a social security pension each month and she forbids me to get a job in fear that the social security pension will lower or be taken away if I get a job. Is this true? She also says that my sister and I receive a monthly pension because of my dad, who’s passed away. If I get a job, will that be taken as well?

Some Social Security benefits can be affected by outside income. You don’t say what kind of benefits your mother is receiving so it’s not possible to give a totally accurate answer. Depending upon what type of benefits she’s receiving, those might be reduced if SHE has other outside income. However YOUR income will not affect HER Social Security benefits.
It appears that you are receiving survivor’s benefits and those are not affected by your income so if you get a job it won’t have any affect on your benefits.
If your Mom is concerned about loss of benefits due to outside income she should visit her local Social Security office and ask. They’ll be happy to assist you both in determining what type of benefits you each are receiving and if any outside income by either of you will have any affect on those benefits.

no - G W Bush removed that law. You mom may earn as much as she wants without loss of benefits

For her working does not affect your mothers benefits may be reduced because you are receiving and her age she needs to contact ssa for her specific situation your benefits are receiving and her working does not affect your benefits are receiving survivor benefits and her specific situation your mothers benefits and her specific.
The same in is possible that your benefits and her age she needs to contact ssa for her specific situation your benefits are greater than 25000.
