Social Security Administration Withholding When Receiving Benefits

Social security withholding is not refundable even if you are currently receiving social security benefits. Any social security withholding from employment is applied to your social security account and is used in determining your historical annual income and if applicable, can cause your social security income to be adjusted.

You may want to contact the Social Security Administration in your local area or call 1-800-772-1213 to discuss how social security withheld is applied to your account. You can also visit the SSA website.
