Retirees can start receiving benefits from Social Security as early as age 62. However, the amount will be reduced from the amount expected at your full retirement age. To the surprise of some, age 65 is no longer the age at which full benefits are received. The chart below shows the age at which you can receive full benefits. However, regardless of when you reach your full retirement benefit age, you can still receive a reduced benefit as early as age 62.

∙ 9y agoThe minimum age you can claim Social Security retirement benefits is 62, provided you have accrued the required 40 credits which is the equivalent of 10 years of work. However, because age 62 is not the Full Retirement Age (FRA) for collecting retirement benefits, the amount you will be collecting will be about 25 to 30 percent less than what you would collect if you wait until your FRA, which can range between ages 66 and 67, depending on your year of birth. Another effect of collecting Social Security retirement prior to your FRA is that if you earn more than a specific amount from working ($15,480 in 2014), your benefits will be reduced. Deciding when to begin collecting your Social Security retirement benefits is a decision that requires careful planning so be sure to talk to an experienced financial advisor who can help you to fully assess your situation.
