| Question text: | We will now show you a story about Joe, and then ask you some questions about it.
On his 63rd birthday - one year after Joe first stopped working and claimed Social Security benefits - Joe goes back to work part-time. In that year, he earns $20,000. We now want to ask you some questions about how you think Joe’s decision to go back to work might affect his Social Security benefits at different ages. Let’s start with the year Joe is age 63 and works part-time for $20,000. While he is working that year, what do you think would happen to his Social Security benefits for that year? |
| Answer type: | Radio buttons |
| Answer options: | 1 His monthly benefits during this year (age 63) would be unchanged. In other words, Joe would still receive the same $1,000 per month that he would have received had he not returned to work. 2 His monthly benefits during this year (age 63) would be reduced. In other words, Joe would receive less than the $1,000 per month that he would have received had he not returned to work. 3 His monthly benefits during this year (age 63) would be increased. In other words, Joe would receive more than the $1,000 per month that he would have received had he not returned to work. |
