SALT LAKE CITY -- Baby Boomers past the age of 60 are starting to consider when they should take their Social Security benefits.
It can make a big difference.
"If you take it early, you get a smaller monthly check for a longer period of years," says Sandy Hunter who worked for the Social Security Administration for 30 years. "You take it later, at 70, you get a higher check, but it`s going to be a shorter number of years."
For example, if a 62-year-old receives $750 a month from Social Security, they would receive $1,300 a month if they waited until age 70 to begin withdrawals.
