How to Collect Social Security. The U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) allows eligible individuals to collect Social Security retirement benefits at any point between 62 and 70 years of age. There are pros and cons to early or late collection, but the process remains the same.

Then use the âcompute the effect of early or delayed retirementâ calculator to refine this by individual month.
