It depends on the year you were born. They are raising it a little at a time.
Figure 65 to 68 for now.
Since Reagan dissolved the Social Security funds and that money started going into general funds, politicians started complaining that it will go bankrupt. Prior to ransacking the fund, there was a growing surplus. Reaganomics killed it.

62. And the system's death knells started during the 1960s, when the Johnson Administration began dipping into the fund to pay for its "Great Society" welfare state programs.

It has either been moved up to 65 or 66. It used to be 62. Good Luck ! :)
