Well, if you're a roofer who at age 69 isn't yet old enough to qualify for SS and isn't disabled, then yes. Many older folks would resent being treated as if they're invalids at 69 but if someone is having trouble keeping up with their trade in their 60's, they can go work as a greeter at the Walmart or something for that extra time until the checks start coming.
