Social security??

[thecamel]

Checking my social security statement recently and it says that at age 62 I'll be eligible for a $2300 monthly payment. I'm currently 56 with 30 years driving so I'm eligible for retirement and pension. Question that I have is if I retire at age 57 does that social security amount assume that I will continue working till at least 62 or can I go next year and rely on the $2300 benefit? Thanks.

It assumes you keep working but you won't lose that much if you have 35 good years of earnings.
