disability insurance, and other assistance to those who need it. Social Security payments to retired persons can start at age 
62, but many wait until age 65, when the payments are slightly higher. Recently, there has been concern that the Social

and voluntary organizations is available. Volunteerism is on the rise in the United States, especially among retired persons.
