Bill > HR5284

This bill requires the Social Security Administration (SSA) to update its terminology in all rules, regulations, guidance, and materials by January 1, 2027, or within 12 months of the bill's enactment. Specifically, the bill mandates three key language changes: (1) replacing "early eligibility age" with "minimum monthly benefit age", which refers to the earliest age at which individuals can start receiving Social Security retirement benefits; (2) replacing both "full retirement age" and "normal retirement age" with "standard monthly benefit age", which describes the age at which a person can receive their full retirement benefits; and (3) eliminating the term "delayed retirement credit" and replacing any references to age 70 as the maximum credit age with "maximum monthly benefit age", which indicates the point at which retirement benefits reach their highest possible amount. These changes are intended to make Social Security terminology more clear and straightforward for the public, without altering the underlying rules or benefit calculations.
