Can I apply for social security at 60

Hi,

The earliest that you could draw Social Security retirement benefits is age 62, and your benefit rate would be reduced for age if you do so. However, you could potentially qualify for Social Security disability benefits (SSDI) at age 60 or even earlier if you meet the requirements for those benefits (https://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/handbook/handbook.05/handbook-0501.html).

It's also possible to draw benefits as early as age 60 as a widow or surviving divorced spouse, or at any age for individuals who meet the requirements for disabled adult child's benefits on a parent's record (https://www.ssa.gov/planners/disability/qualify.html#anchor7). You may want to strongly consider using our software to explore your possible benefit options in order to determine your best strategy for claiming Social Security benefits.

Best, Jerry
