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.
Swanger, Rose. The answer depends on which age you file for the social security benefits. For example, assume your full retirement age (FRA) is 66, and the maximum benefit for the FRA in 2016 is $2,639 per mo. Say, if youâre 62 & contemplate to file for an early benefit, you may only get 75% of the full benefit, which is $1,979/mo.
