age for full social security benefits

I've heard both 67 (for those born in the early 60s and later) and 70. So which is it: 67 or 70?

If you claim your benefits at 67, you'll receive your "full" amount.
If you claim your benefits at 70, you'll receive an even "fuller" amount.

See: https://www.ssa.gov/planners/retire/retirechart.html

and: https://www.ssa.gov/planners/retire/delayret.html

It's silly for Social Security to use the word "full", IMHO.

67 as you can see from the chart. 70 y.o. is the age where you can maximize the SS payouts. It doesn't make financial sense to wait longer than 70.
