Are You Wondering How Much Money You Will Get When You Retire?
To be eligible to receive your full retirement benefits, you must reach full retirement age. Depending on the year you were born, this age may be anywhere between 65 and 67. You can look for this number on the chart below.
You don't, however, have to wait till you have reached your full retirement age to start collecting. Starting at age 62, you can choose to retire early. Though, the general rule with retirement benefits is that the earlier you retire, the greater the permanent reduction penalty in the amount of your monthly benefit.
When you think about retiring early, talk to the agent at the Social Security office and ASK THEM about this reduction. Many times, their agents hesitate to tell claimants about this cut because it goes into the Social Security Administration's pocketbook.
