The 3 Best Ages to Claim Social Security Benefits
Nearly half of soon-to-be retirees say their biggest retirement question involves deciding when to begin claiming Social Security benefits, according to a survey from the Empower Institute.

You can begin claiming Social Security as early as age 62, or you can wait a few years and collect larger checks each month. While there's no one-size-fits-all answer as to what age you should begin claiming, there are a few good options to consider.
