This paper investigates the influence on eligibility criteria, current labor force participation, characteristics of current or last job, health, and age on the utilization of retirement benefits. Respondents were white males drawn from the 1975 wave of the National Longitudinal Survey of Older Men. Estimates from multinomial logit models indicate that more highly educated workers and self-employed workers were more likely than other workers to be employed at older ages, one reason being their flexibility in defining retirement options. Self-employed workers and workers with low job tenure and low net assets were likely to combine benefit income and earnings in a given year. Workers with reported health limitations appeared to be predisposed to retire when eligible for benefits, with such workers aged 63 and over more likely to be dependent on Social Security benefits only.
