Filing for Social Security Benefits
Seems that articles have been appearing with increasing frequency, outlining the rules for filing for Social Security Benefits. If you haven't checked them lately, it's worth looking into, even if you aren't ready to retire in the near future.
The basics are that you can file for partial benefits when you reach the age of 62. Depending on when you were born, you can file for full benefits when you are 65, 66, or 67.
Many people wonder whether they should consider filing for partial benefits, or wait to file for full benefits. You need to know which rules apply to you in order to know your options.
We've included links to a story in the Burlington Free Press, and here's a link to the official Social Security benefit calculator.
