First of all, I am not certain what $85,000 threshold you refer to. The Foreign Earned Income Credit is now $102,100 that is what \you are making reference to.
If you have paid into social security your delinquent income tax status should not affect your benefits. But it is possible that the IRS could seize your bank account or your SS benefits.
