Understanding Your Social Security Claiming Strategy
The age at which you choose to claim benefits significantly impacts your monthly income. Making an informed decision is critical for your long-term retirement security as a Massport employee.
Early Claiming (Age 62)
Claiming early results in a permanent reduction of up to 30% in your monthly benefit. While you receive payments sooner, the total lifetime benefit may be lower depending on longevity.
Full Retirement Age (FRA)
By waiting until your FRA (typically age 66 or 67), you receive 100% of your primary insurance amount. This serves as the benchmark for all future annual cost-of-living adjustments.
Delayed Credits (Age 70)
For every year you delay beyond your FRA until age 70, your benefit increases by 8% annually. This is the maximum guaranteed way to boost your monthly Social Security income.
Survivor Considerations
Your decision affects more than just your individual check. A higher claiming age often provides a larger survivor benefit for a surviving spouse, offering critical long-term protection.
