Your claim age decision and the $150k impact
💡 Tip of the Week
Claiming Social Security at 62 reduces your monthly benefit by about 30 percent compared with full retirement age at 67. Waiting until 70 increases it by 24 to 32 percent through delayed retirement credits. For someone with a $2,000 monthly benefit at 67, that single choice can change total lifetime payments by more than $120,000 over 20 years. Run the numbers in RetirePro to see the exact outcome for your expected benefit and longevity.
