Can I Get My Social Securty Now If I Was Born In 1963?

I am born 1963 may I got my social security now.

Hi,

You must be at least age 62 in order to qualify for Social Security retirement benefits, so if that's what you're referring to the answer is no. However, if you're disabled you may be able to qualify for disability benefits prior to age 62. Also, some survivor (e.g. widow, surviving divorced spouse) and auxiliary (e.g. spouse, divorced spouse) benefits can potentially be paid prior to age 62, but I have no way of knowing whether or not you'd qualify.

Best, Jerry
