Turning 62 This Year? Know These Essential Social Security Rules
Age 62 is a pretty important retirement milestone. That's because it's the earliest age you're allowed to file for Social Security. It also happens to be a popular age for seniors to claim their benefits.
If you're thinking of signing up for Social Security as soon as you're able to, it's important to understand the implications of that decision. And means familiarizing yourself with these essential Social Security rules.
If you started working in your early 20s, then you may have 35 years of work or more under your belt by the time age 62 rolls around. But if you took an extended career break -- say, to raise kids -- or if you didn't start your career until your 30s because you spent extra time pursuing an education, then you may not have a 35-year work history by the time you turn 62.
