In short, the best advice for claiming Social Security is to wait. Yet 41 percent of men and 46 percent of women retire at age 62 on the smallest possible benefit check. Only 14.3 percent of men and 9.7 percent of women wait to collect their full check at age 66.
Filing the social security application to receive the retirement benefits is the first step. Social security payments are automatically paid for the previous month. The recipient will receive a check one month from the date of the determined entitlement. The date of entitlement is the month in which the recipient meets the age requirements to qualify for social security retirement benefits. If the month of entitlement is March, the recipient will receive a check for the month of March in the month of April.
