Re: Social Security benefits??
I took early social security at age 62 - was a really easy process at our local SS office. I applied a couple of months before my 62nd birthday and got my first check in December (my bd is in November). I also took early retirement from my job at a local university and our HR office was great to work with. Ended up with a net monthly income within a few dollars of what I made working. You also can work while receiving social security as long as you don't earn over a certain amount - if you go over they will take back a pretty big amount. It still gives me an option to fill in part-time at the university for a little extra money for traveling or special things. I forget what paperwork I had to take with me to file for SS but you should be able to call and find out.
