   It varies. It depends on when you were born. Check the social security website.

   It depends on when you were born if it was after 1960 it would probably be 67.

   I believe it’s 72 for full benefits and it gets less the younger you retire. Also, check irs.gov for more info on social security and retirement.

   Usually age 65, although more recently the age for SS retirement benefits is older for those born after a certain date.

   According to the Social Security Administration it’s 70 when you get full benefits.
