what age to receive social security
Remember that the earliest you can start Social Security retirement benefits is age 62. You can also start it at any time up to age 70. At 62, your payments will be reduced. If you start at full retirement age, now 66 for many people, you'll get your full payment, based on your highest 35 years of earnings. At 70, you'll get your full payment plus a 32 percent bonus for waiting. See also: AARP Social Security Calculator.
