Ask Larry about Social Security:Loading...Can I Suspend At 68 After Filing At 66? Thanks, LorenHi Loren, If you start drawing at age 66 and then suspend your benefits from age 68 to 70, your benefit rate will be 16% higher when they resume at age 70. An expert Social Security benefits calculator, whether my company's software or another meticulous program, can help determine how best to proceed. Hi Larry, I am 63 and currently am being advised to wait until I am 66 to file for my retirement benefit.
