Taking NRA 65 benefits at 60

Post by Waggotg »

Does anyone know how much NRA 65 benefits would be reduced by if you took them at 60? I know NRA60 benefits are reduced by 5% per year when taken early but I think it may be different for NRA65.

It is not, it is says it is around 5% per year, but it is normally never more than that.
