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.
However, people can choose to collect benefits as early as age 62, as late as age 70, or anywhere in between. If you choose early retirement, you can collect benefits as early as age 62, but your benefits will be reduced for each month that you collect them before you reach the full Social Security retirement age.he full retirement age for people retiring now (including baby boomers who were born between 1943 and 1954) is age 66. The full Social Security retirement age will gradually increase for people born after 1954 until it reaches age 67 (for people born in 1960 or later).
