What if I begin benefits at a different age?

You are eligible to receive your full Social Security benefits at age SOCIAL_FULL_BENEFIT_AGE. But you can start receiving Social Security benefits as early as age 62. You can also delay your benefits until age 70. The Social Security Administration attempts to keep your lifetime benefit equal regardless of the age you begin taking benefits. Take a look at the chart below to see how this can affect your monthly benefit.
