Social security helps retired people cover their living costs. Working an additional couple years can have a big impact on the benefits available at retirement. As a hypothetical example, a current 44 year old could start recieving benefits as early as age 62, while getting their full benefits at 67. If they enjoy their job and are in good health they may want to consider waiting until they are 70 to access their benefits so they can keep doing work they enjoy and get a higher monthly payment while in retirement.
