You can receive early Social Security Retirement benefits at age 62 but if you income exceeds a specific dollar amount per year ($12,960 in 2007), your Social Security benefits will be reduced by $1 for every $2 earned over that amount. After you reach full retirement age, you will no longer be penalized for your earnings.

Social Security benefits are the same no matter what state you live in. Social Security retirement benefits are based on your earnings record or "credits" and your age.
No, social security benefits are expected to run out after 2020.
You cannot collapse your Social Security trust account. Social Security is a government-administered program that provides retirement, disability, and survivor benefits to eligible individuals based on their work history and contributions. The funds in your Social Security account are used to pay benefits to current beneficiaries and will be available to you when you become eligible to receive benefits.
Social Security disability benefits are typically lower than retirement benefits because they are calculated on the basis of fewer years of income. When a disabled worker reaches full retirement age, his or her benefits automatically convert from disability to retirement income at the same rate. There is no windfall payment for disability.
The railroad retirement program can be beneficial for eligible railroad workers and their families. It provides retirement, disability, and survivor benefits that are generally more generous than those provided under Social Security. However, the program is specific to railroad workers and may not be advantageous for individuals who have not worked in the railroad industry.
Right now, you can receive social security benefits at age 62. But the younger the age, the more percentage is deducted from the retirement benefits.
Depends on which program you're refering to. If you're referring to retirement or Social Security Disability benefits, it's Medicare. There is also Medicaid for Supplemental Security Income recipients, a federal welfare type benefit, based on the same disability criteria as the Social Security Disability benefit program.
Social Security benefits are provided by the federal government, not the state, to help citizens plan for retirement. States may offer additional retirement benefits and programs, such as state-sponsored retirement savings plans or pension systems, to supplement Social Security.
