Senior Citizens’ Freedom to Work Act of 2023
HR 5193, the Senior Citizens’ Freedom to Work Act of 2023, repeals the Social Security Retirement Earnings Test. This means seniors receiving Social Security benefits who continue working will no longer have their benefits reduced based on their earnings. The bill removes specific provisions in the Social Security Act that previously deducted benefits for individuals under full retirement age who earned above a set limit. The change applies to taxable years ending after December 31, 2023, directly affecting working seniors who previously faced benefit reductions.
