For those born between 1943 and 1954, the full retirement age is 66. For those born between 1955 and 1959, the full retirement age gradually increases from 66 and 2 months to 66 and 10 months. However, individuals can start receiving Social Security retirement benefits as early as age 62, though benefits will be reduced for early retirement.
