Welcome to the Academy's toolkit on When to Take Social Security: It Pays to Wait! The materials in this toolkit are designed to educate workers approaching retirement about their options for taking Social Security benefits, and about why it can pay to wait.
Social Security benefits can be taken at any time between 62 and 70, but there are sound financial reasons to delay if you can. If you wait, your monthly benefits will be higher for the rest of your life.
