Benefits Calculated for an Early Filer Can Increase…Here’s How - finance.yahoo.com
Nearly a quarter of those reaching Social Security’s early retirement age (62) elect to take that step and absorb the benefit reduction—30% if your full retirement age is 67. They assume that to be a permanent reduction, and in the vast majority of cases, it is.
