Is the Government Coming for a Piece of Your Social Security Checks?

Social Security will be one of the most important sources of income that you rely on in your later years. You don't have to worry about these benefits running out and can count on them going up when inflation increases prices, thanks to the way the retirement benefits program is designed.

But, you may be surprised to find that you don't always get to keep all of your benefits. In fact, depending on your earnings and where you live, both the federal government and your state government may want to keep a piece of your payments.
