Hi,
You can't collect Social Security retirement benefits until you are at least age 62. The only way that you could draw Social Security benefits based on your own work history before age 62 is if you qualify for disability benefits. For more information about Social Security disability benefits, refer to their website: https://www.ssa.gov/benefits/disability/.
You don't mention your marital status or history, so I don't know if you may have any other options with regard to Social Security benefits.
Best, Jerry
