Can I File For Early Retirement Benefits While I Wait For A Decision On My Disability Claim?
If you have filed for disability and I am 58 years old. Can I file for early retirement while I wait for disability. I was a industrial pipefitter, I have multiple health issues. What do I do?
Hi,
No. You would have to be at least age 62 in order to claim reduced Social Security retirement benefits. My expertise is limited to Social Security benefits, so I can't tell you whether or not you might be eligible for benefits from any other sources. You may want to try checking with the Department of Social Services in your area to see if they have any suggestions for you.
Best, Jerry
