Thinking You Shouldn't Enroll in Medicare Before Social Security? Think Again
The decision to sign up for Social Security is a big one. That's because your filing age will dictate how much of a monthly benefit you're entitled to throughout your retirement.
You can sign up for Social Security as early as age 62. But you can't claim your full monthly benefit based on your wage history until full retirement age, or FRA. FRA hinges on your year of birth, and it's either 66, 67, or 66 and a certain number of months.
