Early Retirement, Labor Supply, and Benefit Withholding: The Role of the Social Security Earnings Test
by Hugo A. BenÃtez-Silva and Frank Heiland

- Removing the earnings tax on Social Security benefits would have large consequences on labor supply and earnings. Eliminating the earnings tax would not have a large enough effect on labor supply and earnings to meaningfully impact solvency.
- Increasing the EEA would mechanically delay claiming benefits and likely increase labor supply in the years leading to the new EEA, but would have a limited effect on long run solvency.
