If I retire from UC Davis prior to my full retirement age, but wait to collect Social Security until my full retirement age, will my Social Security benefits be affected?
Your Social Security benefits may be reduced if you retire from UC Davis prior to full retirement age, even if you wait to collect Social Security until your full retirement age. Social Security benefits are calculated on your 35 highest years of earnings. The calculation is complex, and beyond the scope of this Web site. Visit the Social Security Web site or call them to find out how this will affect your Social Security income.
