Who gets partial social security?

Answer 1

· There are actually two answers to this question. A worker can begin to collect Social Security benefits as early as age 62, but cannot begin to receive full retirement benefits until between 65 and 67. The exact age for full benefits depends on date of birth. Workers born before 1938 can receive full retirement benefits starting at age 65. The full retirement age climbs by two months per year for workers born between 1938 and 1942, and is 66 for those born between 1943 and 1954. The full benefits age then climbs by two months per year for those born between 1955 and 1959, and will be 67 for anyone born in 1960 or after.

If a worker decides to receive benefits starting when he or she is 62, then monthly benefits will be reduced by a set percentage for each month that the worker begins to receive benefits before his or her full retirement age. As the full retirement age climbs from 65 to 67, workers who retire early will receive an even greater reduction in their monthly benefits. Currently, if a worker retires at 62, he or she receives 80 percent of the full retirement age amount. This will eventually drop to 70 percent if a persons full retirement age is 67.

Benefits also increase for every month that a worker begins to receive retirement benefits after he or she reaches full retirement benefits age. This growth continues until age 70. · Qualifying for Retirement Benefits

Everyone is not qualified to receive Social Security benefits. In order to qualify, one has to earn at least 40 quarterly credits. Workers receive one credit by earning at least $870 in a three-month period and paying Social Security taxes on that amount. Workers who earn $3,480 during a year receive 4 credits. The amount of income required to earn a credit changes annually, but this does not affect credits that have already been earned. Once a worker has earned the required 40 credits, he or she is permanently qualified. However, the level of benefits that a worker actually receives depends on his or her income history.

There are similar requirements for the Disability Insurance program, but the number of credits necessary to qualify varies depending on the age at which one becomes disabled.
