What happens if you wait to start Social Security benefits at 70?

Can you still draw social security at age 66?
if age 66 is your “full retirement age” with Social Security, you can collect FULL Social Security AND FULL wages while you remain employed. At my employer, we have quite a few who are doing this… “double dipping” with Social Security and wages is a great way to add to your savings account while you still can!
