 Okay, so when can you start to claim your Social Security benefits and how do you actually do it? So, you know, you can go on the website, you'll register, you can call, you can go into a local Social Security office. There are three ages that are really important. Three ages. 62, 67, 70. You can claim your benefits as long as you've worked for 10 years, not necessarily consecutively, 40 quarters or 10 years. Okay.
