President Donald Trump celebrated his 79th birthday last June; that means he has been eligible to claim Social Security benefits since 2008, when he turned 62.

As he was born in 1946, his full retirement age (FRA) was 66, a milestone he hit in 2012. Trump turned 70 in 2016 — the same year he launched his first bid for the presidency. At that age, he would have been eligible to claim his maximum benefit by earning delayed retirement credits.
