62
In terms of Social Security the earliest a person can receive retirement benefits is 62. If you were born in 1952 you would have to wait until you were 66 years old to collect full social security.
Because of your higher earnings and larger contribution amounts during your period of contributing to your social security and medicare benefit account.
If you were born in 1953, you can draw Social Security benefits at full retirement age, which is 66 years and 4 months. You can also start receiving reduced benefits as early as age 62, but they will be permanently reduced.
You can collect Social Security retirement benefits as early as age 62 in 2014, but they will only be approximately 75% of the amount you can collect at your full retirement age of 66, in 2018.
It depends on the date of birth and persons age or if there is a disability. To collect social security benefits you must first apply and show why you are eligible. Even when totally disabled you can still be denied benefits and need an attorney to help you receive benefits.
If you were born in 1946, full retirement age for Social Security benefits is 66 years and 4 months. This means you can start receiving your full Social Security retirement benefits without any reduction in payments. However, you may choose to begin receiving reduced benefits as early as age 62, or delay benefits until age 70 to increase the monthly payment amount.
The amount you can earn at age 63 for Social Security retirement benefits will depend on your lifetime earnings history. The full retirement age for people born between 1943 and 1954 is 66. If you choose to start receiving benefits at age 63, your monthly benefit amount will be reduced. The maximum earnings limit for Social Security benefits at age 63 is $18,960 in 2021 before benefits are reduced.
No one "gave" Social Security benefits to immigrants. Illegal immigrants aren't eligible to receive Social Security compensation; legal immigrants are eligible if they earned wages and paid FICA taxes, just like natural-born citizens.
The Social Security website has a chart. http://www.socialsecurity.gov/retire2/retirechart.htm Born 1937 or earlier, then full benefits at 65 years old. Born 1943-54, then full benefits at 66 years old. Born 1960 or later, then full benefits at 67 years old. If you were born between 1938-42, then full benefits start at an age like 65 years and 2 months, or 4 months, or 6 months, etc.... depending on the year you were born. Ditto 1955-59. Here's another useful page from Social Security: http://www.socialsecurity.gov/retire2/
You can start drawing Social Security benefits as early as age 62, but the amount will be reduced if you start before your full retirement age. Your full retirement age is between 66 and 67, depending on the year you were born. Waiting until after your full retirement age can increase your benefits.
You generally have to wait until your 66th birthday to start receiving the full amount of Social Security benefits. Your benefit amount is based on your full retirement age, which is determined by your birth year. If you start receiving benefits before your full retirement age, your payments may be reduced.
It's based on your actual Social Security earnings records, and starts at age 67 years old
