what is full age for social security
Jan 7th, 2010 by jblankenship. The Full Retirement Age, or FRA (gotta love the government for their acronyms!), is a key figure for the individual who is planning to receive Social Security retirement benefits. Back in the olden days, when Social Security was first dreamed up, FRA was always age 65. Then, in 1983 the Social Security Act was amended to make changes to the FRA. Beginning with folks born in 1938, the FRA would be increased (see table below). And for folks born in 1960 and beyond, FRA is age 67 (as of this writing!) but donât expect this figure to remain constant.
