4 Weird Social Security Rules Early Filers Need to Know About
If you're eager to get your hands on your Social Security check as soon as you become eligible for it at 62, chances are good you'll end up an early filer.

And they claim checks well before age 70, which is the age they'd need to start their payments if they want the maximum possible monthly check.
Early filing can sometimes make a lot of financial sense under the right circumstances, but before you make the choice to do it, you should know these four key rules.
