Then in the year of they reach full retirement age, it’s reduced $1 for every $3 earned over $19,800. At and after full retirement age (FRA), one can earn as much as they like without reduction in benefit.
At and after FRA, the issue of how much of your social security is subject to taxation. But the discussion of how to calculate provisional income and AGI (adjusted gross income) and taxable income to determine how much of your social security is subject to taxation is for another discussion.

OBB, I'm not sure how many people you know who are employees of The Villages, but your statement "So most employees who work for the Villages don't WANT good paying jobs. They just want something to get them out of the house, be productive, engage in human contact with others, maybe exercise their minds and bodies (depending on the job) and continue contributing to society while they're still able. The money is more of a bonus - grocery fund" I find to be extremely inaccurate. I can tell you first hand that this isn't the case.
