The full retirement age for Social Security – the age in which you get 100% of the program's benefits – has risen over recent years.

The retirement age is no longer a standard of 65 for Social Security. With legislative changes, the full retirement age (FRA) varies depending on the year of birth, directly affecting the benefits you will receive.

The full retirement age to collect Social Security benefits has once again shifted, meaning Americans born in 1960 who want to receive full benefits will have to keep working until they reach 67 years old.
