How to Report Changes
When a change occurs after you have begun receiving your annuity, you should report the

person, whichever you prefer.
In most cases, we calculate how much to reduce your annuity because of your earnings
based on either the earnings estimate you gave us when you applied for benefits, or on
reports submitted by employers to the Social Security Administration. As a reminder, you
should report your earnings (1) when we ask for a report of your earnings or (2) if any of
the following happens:
