other 15 cents is used for people with disabilities and their families When employees are ready to receiver their Social Security payments are based on how much they earned during their career with higher lifetime earnings resulting in higher monthly benefits Benefits amounts are also affected by the age at which an employee decides to retire Payments are available as early as age 62 but the value would be about 25 percent lower than what s collected by those who wait until full retirement age which ranges from 66 to 67 years old depending on the year in which they were born Today about
