At what age do you get Social Security?

Answer by  patti (29325)

Individuals can start receiving retirement benefits at age 62, or wait until age 65 or 70. When the benefits start determines the amount for both the individual and the spouse. The longer benefits are delayed, the greater the monthly benefit will be. An individual who is deemed disabled, is eligible to receive benefits from the date of the disability.

The age for a retirement claim depends on the year in which you were born. Disability payments can be applied for at any time. Dependent benefits are predicated on the death of the contributor. Do a search through Google. The federal government has a great website with details and FAQ.
