Description

There are three major considerations when determining when you should start drawing Social Security. Those factors include health and family history, how badly you need the money and whether you are still working.

Claiming benefits before Full Retirement Age (FRA) can reduce your monthly benefits by as much as 30%. Waiting until FRA – that’s currently 67 years for people born 1960 or later – makes you eligible for 100% of your benefits but requires delaying five years past the earliest eligibility age of 62. Delaying to FRA also removes income limitations for people who are still working.
