Can I Start Taking Pension Benefits Early? Nope. While you can opt to tap your 401(k) at any time (though youâll pay a huge penalty to do so before age 59.5), you canât collect your pension until youâve reached the retirement age determined by your pension plan. Typically full retirement age 65, though many plans allow an early retirement that could start as soon as age 55.
Of course, you can delay collecting from your 401k beyond age 59, but most plans require that you begin receiving distributions by age 70 and a half if you continue working beyond normal retirement age.f you retire early, you may begin collecting Social Security benefits at age 62. However, these payments will be less than if you waited to claim your benefits at full retirement age. Full retirement is age 65 for workers born in 1937 or earlier and rises gradually to 67 for those born in 1960 and later.
