  • The annual cost-of-living increase boosted monthly benefits by 0.3% beginning in January.
  • The wage base on which workers must pay Social Security payroll taxes jumped by $8,700 to $127,200 in 2017.
  • Earnings limits for those collecting Social Security prior to full retirement age climbed this year. Those who won't reach full retirement age in 2017 can earn up to $16,920 annually before forfeiting a portion of their Social Security benefits, which is $1,200 more than 2016's limit. Those who do hit full retirement age this year have a limit of $44,880, which is $3,000 higher than last year's limit.
  • It now takes $1,300 of income to get a Social Security credit for eligibility purposes, up $40 from last year.
  • The maximum Social Security retirement benefit for 2017, based on retiring at full retirement age with maximum earnings over a 35-year career, rose $48 to $2,687 per month.
    • These changes will have an impact on tens of millions of retirees, and in some cases, the effects will be significant. But while none of these changes is unexpected, there's a lot more uncertainty about what could come out of Washington to affect Social Security this year.
