Hi,

No. The only way that you could possibly collect Social Security benefits that are based on your own earnings history prior to age 62 is if you qualify for Social Security disability (SSDI) benefits. Nor could you elect to voluntarily opt out of Social Security and withdraw the taxes that you've contributed to the program.

Best, Jerry
