Frequently Asked Questions
The benefit is based on your average indexed monthly earnings (AIME) over your 35 highest-earning years, adjusted for inflation. A progressive formula applies three bend points (90%, 32%, 15%) to determine your primary insurance amount (PIA). Your actual benefit depends on your claiming age relative to your full retirement age.
Full retirement age (FRA) is 67 for those born in 1960 or later. It gradually increases from 66 to 67 for earlier birth years.
Yes, you can retire as early as age 62, but your benefit will be permanently reduced. The reduction is about 5/9 of 1% per month for the first 36 months before FRA, and 5/12 of 1% for additional months.
