Early Retirement: You can start getting Social
Security retirement benefits as early as age 62, but
your benefit amount will be less than you would have
gotten at full retirement age. If you take retirement
benefits early, your benefit will be permanently
reduced, based on the number of months you received
checks before you reached full retirement age.
Early Retirement Age: Age 62
Earnings Record: A chronological
history of the amount you earn each year during your
working lifetime. The credits you earned remain on your
Social Security record even when you change jobs or have
no earnings.
