How Old Do I Have To Be To Get Social Security?

My question is if am getting retirement how old I have to be to get social security I be 65 in May

Hi. I'm not sure if I understand your question. As long as you have at least 40 quarters of Social Security coverage you can start drawing Social Security retirement benefits as early as age 62. However, the earlier you start drawing prior to age 70, the lower your monthly rate will be.

You may want to strongly consider using our software (https://maximizemysocialsecurity.com/purchase) to fully analyze the options available to you in order to determine your best strategy for maximizing your benefits.

Best, Jerry
