The current full retirement age is 66. The age when retired people can receive full benefits is increasing gradually to age 67. (The age for Medicare eligibility remains at 65.) See Benefits By Year Of Birth for more information.
Social Security's full-benefit retirement age is increasing gradually because of legislation passed by Congress in 1983. Traditionally, the full benefit age was 65, and early retirement benefits were first available at age 62, with a permanent reduction to 80 percent of the full benefit amount. Currently, the full benefit age is 66 for people born in 1943-1954, and it will gradually rise to 67 for those born in 1960 or later. Early retirement benefits will continue to be available at age 62, but they will be reduced more.
