I am considering applying for early(62) Social Security. Presently I draw a Military retirement of $718 a month and a full 100% VA disability of $2680 a month. My Military retirement is taxable but since it is the only taxable income I receive I pay no taxes.
My question is, if I elect early Social Security retirement will my income from my military retirement and/ or my VA 100% total unemployable money be used by the SSA as an offset towards receiving full SS retirement?
If it will than it not worth taking early SS retirement but it is not I need the money to live.
Thank You for your assistance sorting out the answers. I have called and written to the Social Security Administration and they can not answer my question.
