Early Retirement: You can start getting Social
Security retirement benefits as early as age 62, but your
benefit amount will be less than you would have gotten at full
retirement age. If you take retirement benefits early, your
benefit will be permanently reduced, based on the number of
months you received checks before you reached full retirement
age.
Early Retirement Age: Age 62
Earnings Record: A chronological history of the
amount you earn each year during your working lifetime. The
