[QUOTE="geezer77, post: 3759797, member: 49872"] I retired in 1980 from the military, and retired at 62 from my post-military job. SS benefit amounts are pretty cut and dried, based on years worked and $ earned over those years, vs age when you retire. If you choose to retire early as I did, do the math to be sure it's worth it, because it will cost you in reduced $ benefits for several years. Do your homework online so you understand the lingo, and gain a feel for how the system works, then schedule a face-to-face appointment with a counselor at a local SS office, who will walk you through it and will probably file everything on line for you while you're there, assuming you're ready to do it then. Might take a month or even more to get the initial appointment, but just walking into the waiting room and taking a number is a bad, bad idea, sort of like dealing with the DMV. :) [/QUOTE]
