The government does not cap how much you can make in general after retirement, but there is a limit on how much you can earn while receiving
Social Security retirement benefitsbefore your full retirement age. This earnings limit exists to encourage people to wait until full retirement age to receive their benefits and to act as a way to manage the program's long-term costs. If you earn above the limit before your full retirement age, a portion of your benefits is temporarily withheld, but your benefit amount is increased at full retirement age to account for the withheld payments.
