Social Security beneficiaries have a “full retirement age” at which they can start receiving the maximum benefits in their 2023 Social Security check. The full retirement age of a Social Security beneficiary is between the ages of 66 and 67 for any individual who is born in 1960 or after.

An article in The Motley Fool states that Social Security beneficiaries can start receiving their benefits at the early age of 62. However, the amount of benefits in the 2023 Social Security Check will be less than if the beneficiary opted to receive them at a later age.

This suggests that the amount of benefits in the 2023 Social Security Check will increase once a beneficiary will delay their collection. Reports say for every year beyond the full retirement age until the age of 70, the benefits will increase by 8%.
