1937), you still will be able to take your benefits at age 62, but the

retiring now.
Here's how it works. If your full retirement age
is 67, the reduction for starting your
-
Retirement benefits at 62 is about 30 percent.
The reduction for starting benefits at age
- 63 is about 25 percent;
- 64 is about 20 percent;
- 65 is about 13.3 percent; and
- 66 is about 6.7 percent.
-
Benefit as a spouse at 62 is about 67.5 percent
of the benefit your spouse would receive if his or her benefits started
at full retirement age. The reduction for starting benefits as a
spouse at age
- 63 is about 65 percent;
- 64 is about 62.5 percent;
- 65 is about 58.3 percent;
- 66 is about 54.2 percent; and
- 67 is 50 percent.
