The Social Security Administration has released the most popular names of 2024, changed login processes, and are making sure you understand your benefits while still working. As of June 7th 2025, if you created an account through the Social Security website on or before September of 2021, you likely need to maintain your account. For those looking to still work up to or through retirement age, you can absolutely do so but you need to know how this effects your benefits.

Jack Myers, Public Affairs Specialist with the Social Security Administration, talks first about changes coming with your online account. If you haven’t already, you’ll need to create an account with either ‘ID.me’ or ‘login.gov.’

Most are unsure of how working to or past retirement age works when drawing your Social Security benefits. Myers looks to clear this up and explains that if you are working but are yet to draw on your benefits, you have nothing to worry about.

Myers provides an example to help demonstrate how the potential limits are implemented.

The Social Security Administration sees a big bump in traffic to their website every time the previous year’s most popular names is released. This year is no different and Myers shares how in-depth these records really are.
