Martha Shedden, president and co-founder of the National Association of Registered Social Security Analysts, explained to GOBankingRates in an email that while some people might want to start collecting their retirement benefits earlier than age 67, usually, there aren’t talks about lowering the retirement collecting age. “This is because most of the media, and those of us helping clients with their Social Security, are focused on the solvency of the Social Security trust funds — specifically, not being able to pay full benefits if changes are not made to the program by 2033/2034,” Shedden explained.
