The share of women claiming Social Security benefits at age 62 has also declined over the past decade, but women continue to be more likely to claim early than men. Half of women born in 1943 or 1944 claimed at age 62, compared with 60 percent of those born between 1935 and 1937.
Updated August 08, 2017. Full Retirement Age (FRA) is not the same age for everyone, as it is determined by your day and year of birth. It is the age at which you are eligible to receive your full amount of Social Security benefits. If you collect benefits earlier than FRA, your benefits are reduced. The earliest you can collect Social Security retirement benefits is age 62. If you begin benefits later than FRA your benefits are increased as you get the benefit of something called delayed retirement credits.
