    They are reduced because you started taking them early. You will need to be 65+ to get full benefits. Since you are taking now, you will not qualify for a higher payout since the amount you get now is actuarially calculated for your age..

    I agree with ma0641. That ship sailed when you electerd to take the benefits before 65. Now you can never collect the full amount.
