This Is the Best Reason to Claim Social Security in 2024
You have the option to start getting Social Security checks beginning at the age of 62. You don't have to get your first payment so young, though. You can delay for years, and in fact, many experts recommend putting off your claim for benefits until 70 if you can. The advantage of waiting is that your benefit gets slightly bigger each month you delay.
However, while waiting can make sense for some people, it may not be right for you. There are lots of reasons you may want to start getting payments in 2024, regardless of how old you are or whether you've reached age 70. Some of those reasons are better than others, but here's the single best reason to begin your benefits next year.
