To draw full retirement benefits, the following Social Security Administration age rules apply: Born in 1937 or earlier-Full retirement can be drawn at age 65. Born in 1938 - Full retirement can be drawn at age 65 years and 2 months.Born in 1939 -- Full retirement can be drawn at age 65 years and 4 months.ou can retire as early as age 62, but if you retire before your full retirement age, your benefits will be permanently 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 claim Social Security benefits at any point after reaching age 62, but the most commonly discussed ages for claiming benefits are 62, 66, and 70. Claim at age 62 and you'll receive a smaller amount than you'd get at age 66, but wait until age 70 and delayed retirement credits will net you the biggest check.
