Retirement Age Shifts and Your Benefits | Dayton News

Retirement and Social Security just got a lot more strategic—starting benefits at 62? You’re looking at a 30% cut. Wait until your Full Retirement Age (FRA) to avoid that brutal hit. FRA’s been creeping up since 1983, now at 67 for those born after 1960. Claim early? A $1,000 check could shrink to $700. Use SSA’s online tool to find your exact FRA—and brace for a potential 3.6% COLA boost in 2027 to help stretch those dollars.
