In the United States, full retirement age for Social Security depends on when you were born. As outlined by the Social Security Administration, if you were born in 1958 or earlier, you’re already eligible for your full Social Security benefit. If you were born between 1943 and 1954, the full retirement age is 66. It gradually increases for anyone born between 1955 and 1960 until reaching 67. And anyone born after 1960 can access full retirement benefits at 67.
