A person can start getting Social Security benefits at age 62. The longer a person waits the more Social Security pays.

Because of additional income taxes on income from jobs, people with jobs normally wait until they are about 66 when the additional income tax caused because they are collecting social security stops before they start collecting Social Security.

The additional income tax only applies to people with jobs. People with other retirement income do not need to pay it.

So, people laid off at 62 without prospects of another job usually start collecting Social Security. People with good jobs hold off.
