I started collecting social security over two years ago at age 62.  I am now going back to work will I still have to pay FICA?  Can I continue to collect my monthly social security benefit check?

Yes you will have to pay FICA on your earnings from employment. 
 
For 2009.  The most you can make if you have not obtained the normal retirement age is $14,160 (for 2009).  Any earnings over this will cause you to have to payback some or all of your Social Security.  I am guessing your normal retirement age is 66.  However, it does change based on your year of birth.
