Pin down your full retirement age
You’ll get higher Social Security benefits if you wait until full retirement age to retire, so pin down exactly when that is. If you were born between 1943 and 1954, you can receive full retirement benefits at age 66, however, you can start to receive benefits as early as 62. If you claim your Social Security benefits before full retirement age, you’ll get a portion of your benefits but not the full amount.

I have attempted to call Social Security as I would like an updated statement on what I can estimate to retire with. The last update I received was in 2009.
Thanks.
How do I go about getting help with Social Security/Medicare from a specialist?
