When can I begin collecting Social Security retirement benefits, and can I change my mind if I start collecting too early?
You can get Social Security retirement benefits as early as age 62, but if you retire before your full retirement age, your benefits will be reduced, based on your age. For example, if you retire at age 62, your benefit would be about 25 percent lower than what it would be if you waited until you reach full retirement age. You can still work while collecting your Social Security.
