As soon as you turn 62, you can claim Social Security benefits. But that’s considered filing early, and it has consequences. Since you’re claiming benefits before full retirement age (FRA), you’ll shrink the size of your checks and give up the chance to raise your income through delayed retirement credits, which are earned each month you defer benefits after FRA until age 70.
