What is the Social Security Retirement Age? 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.
If you begin receiving Social Security benefits at 62, any earnings from continued employment could reduce your benefit amount. For workers who elect early retirement in 2012, the earnings maximum is $14,640.SSA reduces your monthly benefit payment by $1 for every $2 of your earnings over the maximum.Income from self-employment or a business after age 62 also reduces your monthly benefit payments.f you begin receiving Social Security benefits at 62, any earnings from continued employment could reduce your benefit amount.
