Yes, you will probably qualify for Social Security benefits under an early retirement program.

However, your lifelong benefits will be much less each month than if you delayed taking Social Security until your maximum retirement age. To determine your maximum retirement age, please visit:

Or, if you are interested in learning more about how your benefits would be affected if you work and are taking benefits before your "Full Retirement Age,"
