I’ll be turning 62yrs in August ‘26, and am divorced. I meet all the qualifications for an ex-spouse. I was laid off from my job in April, after being acquired in Jan ‘26. A friend asked me if I considered retiring? I had no idea I could retire at 62! Ideally, I’d like to wait until 67, to receive max benefits, but if I am unable to secure a job before UI runs out, I may not have a choice.
My #1 worry is making the wrong decision on when to retire.
My ‘WIN’ would be having all the knowledge I need to make a confident decision on when to take my benefits.
Thank you!
