11. The amount of your retirement benefits from Social Security depends, in part, on when you
retire. The earliest that you can begin to receive benefits is age 62. The longer you wait to begin
receiving benefits (up to age 70), the higher your benefits will be. If you were born between 1938
and 1960, you cannot receive “full retirement” benefits until age 66. If you were born in 1960 or later,
your full retirement age will be 67. If you wait to receive benefits past your full retirement age, the
amount you receive will continue to increase until you reach age 70. There is no advantage to
waiting past age 70 to begin receiving benefits. You can continue to work while you receive
retirement benefits. If you do, the amount of your benefits will be reduced by one dollar for every two
dollars you earn above a certain limit, until you reach your full retirement age. Once you reach your
full retirement age, this limit no longer applies. The amount you earn will have no effect on your
benefits. According to this passage, which of the following statements is true?
A. You cannot receive retirement benefits from Social Security while you are still working.
B. If you were born in 1950, your full retirement age is 66.
C. If you continue to work past your full retirement age, your benefits will be reduced by one dollar
for every two dollars you earn.
D. There is no advantage to waiting past your full retirement age to begin receiving benefits.
