If You Retire From Your Job At Age 55 Do You Still Have To Wait Until Age 62 For Social Security?
If you retire from your job at 55 you still have to wait until 62 for social security
Hi. Yes, providing that you aren't disabled and if you don't qualify for auxiliary or survivor benefits on someone else's Social Security account. The earliest that anyone can collect Social Security retirement benefits based on their own earnings history is at age 62, regardless of any other factors.
Best, Jerry
